Shaya Weinberger: Parking Lots into Open Galleries

Image
New York residents recently got a new place where they can view art for free, whenever they like. Thanks to artist Shaya Weinberger New Yorkers can now enjoy art while parking their cars. The “Park inside the Box” project was initiated by Weinberger, art professor at Jackson Heights High School in Bronx, NYC, who changed the look of the monotonous parking booths and turned them into real pieces of public art. Targeting lowly places for public art projects brings more interest than any usual beautiful place. Shaya strongly believes that it is possible to do creative and inspiring things even in uninteresting places. By reaching for something that is usually considered unworthy, and by giving it attention and creative energy, you transform that architectural object and it functions on lots of levels. The main idea of the project is to combine public art with utilitarian functions. The purpose of the project is to find mundane, dull places of public character and transform them into pl...

Shaya Weinberger and the Unusual Street Art

Image
This Monday, New York hosted the first edition of the unusual street art festival, where around 200 artists from different fields, got out of their workshops, ateliers, studios and joined forces in an open- air creation, together with the citizens of New York. Shaya Weinberger was one of the artists who contributed and left his mark, in the creation of New York’s unusual image. We sometimes forget that in fact art began somewhere in the open, from ancient Greece onwards, and even earlier, if we talk about the first man and the first need for artistic expression. According to Weinberger people together with the modern way of life and perception, have made art imposed by an artificial framework, an settled art institution trying to make her way, where the importance of art has nothing to do with its essence. Art does not lose its own values depending on where it is showcased. For Shaya displaying art on the street makes it more accessible to its consumers, as it lowers the ba...
