Lamp Shade Street

So beautiful! A street in Paris (Rue de Mai) is decorated with linen lamp shades to create an illuminated archway. Initiated by Club Masters of Linen in partnership with 29 ‘Editeurs’ and Paris Deco Off.

‘Before I Die’ installation

Artist Candy Chang has teamed up with the Chicago Urban Art Society and youth-run art gallery Good News Only to bring her interactive public art project Before I Die(previously) to various Chicago neighborhoods. Passersby are confronted with a spray painted canvas bearing the repeated prompt “Before I die…” and can use provided chalk to complete the sentence, creating a public space for spontaneously shared dreams, hopes, fears and aspirations.

Street Art by Sam3

Street Art Utopia just posted an enormous collection of work by street artist Sam3spanning the last few years but includes a number of pieces I’d never seen before. If you like what you see, also check out his blog and maybe pickup some stuff in his shop. (via street art utopia)

UPDATE: He also made this fun stop motion video.

Street Art by Pavel 183

Some really clever work by street artist Pavel 183 out of Russia. I love his playful interaction with urban surroundings, turning common structures like bridges, walls, and street lamps into places for art. See some other great pieces over on Street Art Utopia.
