art shanty projects minnesota robot
I went to the Art Shanty Projects last weekend on Medicine Lake in the Twin Cities suburb of Plymouth, MN. The ASP is a combination sculpture park and artist community event inspired by all the ice fishing houses that appear on Minnesota's frozen lakes this time of year. Artist design and show off all different kinds of creative interactive structures that are on display over a 4 weekend period.
This robo theme shanty is called 'Robot Reprise', visitors can crawl inside the bot, move the body and arms around, spy through a periscope mounted on it's head, and shoot rockets out its hands.
The Art Shanty Project is over for 2012 but they will be back - check'em out on Flickr: www.flickr.com/groups/artshantyprojects/pool and: artshantyprojects.org

o0o the name alone makes me smile ... Art Shanty ... conjours up all sorts of thoughts,
I think of Shanty Towns ... ice fishing houses on frozen lakes ! again that conjours up so
many thoughts, not seeing anything like that here and so to see your picture here is
something quite new and will certainly take a look at the link you have given. I like
the blue icy appearance, it lends itself to this perfectly ... brrrrrrrrr as cold as here in
the UK I think ... :-) Bev o0o
