POTHOLE ART PROJECT LAUNCHES ‘TREATS IN THE STREETS’!

Winter left the streets in my city riddled with potholes – wrecking havoc on my car, leaving me feeling like I’m one bump away from leaving an axle in the road. It also reminded me to check in with Jim Bachor, the artist from Chicago who fills potholes with amazing glass & marble mosaics.

Last year we covered the public art project and watched as nine mosaics were installed around Chicago. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, Bachor’s 2015 Pothole Art Installation Project launched a new series of pothole art installations called Treats in the Streets. A perfect name for the creamy white tiles bordering brightly colored popsicles seemingly tossed off a Good Humor truck.

Take a sweet look at the first pieces from the series to hit the streets.

Funny pothole art

Residents in a small town littered with giant potholes may be ready to CRACK the art world - after turning their massively damaged roads into hilarious masterpieces. Fun-natured drivers from Scranton, Pennsylvania have been challenged by an arts group to turn the ugly craters in their neighborhood into pothole art. And they dived straight in - creating everything from a pothole bowl of cereal for breakfast to a popcorn machine and even a sink perfect for washing their dishes in. The Pop Up Studio, who designed the guerrilla art campaign titled Pothole: Positively Filling Negative Space are looking into starting an international competition after receiving such a big response.

Guerrilla Gardener Turns Potholes into Miniature Works of Art

Steve Wheen realized nobody likes to hit potholes on their way to work, so if authorities weren't going to fill them, he would. Steve became a guerrilla gardener, traveling around the world and turning ugly potholes into charming miniature gardens.

"Guerrilla Gardening has been around for a long time, in fact one of the earliest examples I know about is when wives of servicemen used to go out planting flowers along the train tracks during WW1 so their husbands would have a pretty journey home," Steve Wheen says, but he's taken it to a level where it's perceived as an art form. The London-based artist started pothole gardening during his university years, partly to make art, partly as a hobby, and mostly to highlight how crappy East London's streets were. Since then, he's traveled to other big cities, like Milan, to turn potholes into tiny gardens featuring all kinds of small props.

Guerrilla knitting, or yarn bombing as it’s sometimes called, has been gaining a lot of popularity recently. Here’s a new twist that I haven’t seen anyone do before: Juliana Santacruz Herrera took to the streets of Paris to “repair” potholes by filling them with colorful crocheted fabric. (I’m not an expert on the art of crocheting/knitting, so if anyone could confirm whether or not this is in fact crochet I would appreciate it! I had a hard time finding much more information on this…)
