Sackler: Yarn Bombed and Perspectives

The Sackler Gallery of the Smithsonian Institute was yarn bombed to celebrate the opening of Perspectives: Chiharu Shiota. I actually liked the yarn bombing more, but I am not a person you should ever consult about art. Both the yarn bombing and Perspectives clearly took a great deal of time and work to complete. Perspectives was interesting and thought provoking. It featured shoes tied to string, and the strings were then tied together. Most of the shoes featured notes written by the people who donated them as to why the shoe was important to them. Some of the notes can be read on the Sackler Gallery’s website. The yarn bombing was just awesomely fun and decorative.

I really enjoyed your articles on drywall and Chiharu Shiota’s exhibit, but the yarn bombing was a part of the exhibit. It is still amazing, and I am thankful that you shared your photos.
