It took me a few seconds to figure out what was happening here. What creativity, ingenuity and perception it must have taken to create this violin using a continuous piece of metal torn from that old Hoover. Spotted at National Museum Cardiff back in May.

Some sort of bipedal creature is depicted in a piece of modern art in Oslo, Norway. Spotted back in August 2014.

Birdsong fills the entrance to the Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown Los Angeles.
A very appropriate sound as the space is dominated by a huge metallic sculpture in the shape of a bird.
My eyes followed my ears, searching for the source of the sweet, soothing chirping sounds. There were speakers, somewhere, no doubt.
Instead, I found swallows nesting about the structure, their song amplified by the art that serves as their home.
What a wonderful melding of urban art and nature.
