Living on the Edge: A Climbing Wall "Home"

File this one under silly stuff for the start of the work week. A friend just passed on this link to what we think (hope!) must be a performance art piece happening...

...somewhere in the world (the source has no location info). Interesting to see what got included as part of this outdoor abode - a sofa, hammock, dresser with victrola, houseplant and a full "bedroom" with curtains.

We always like to see public art that has to do with private home-like spaces. Last year in London, we spent a fun hour relaxing and lounging on giant, oversized sofas in an outdoor living room installation along the riverbank (near the Tate Modern) with lots of other tourists and locals. And, although that was a good time, I don't think we'd give this particular one a try....

UPDATE: Apartment Therapy New York posted on this project earlier this month and has all the details on the project - check out the post right here for the full scoop!

This is actually a repeat post from less than 2 weeks ago.

I'm astonished that you recognized this as a performance art piece, but were unable to find anything on it? I just now googled "hanging on side of building art" and found all I needed to know - including AT's original post. It is my continued pet peeve when art is presented on AT with no reference to the artists. The reason we don't begrudge what is technically copyright infringement is because you link to us and spread the word!
