"The Minneapolis Institute of Art's neoclassical
columns, flanked by two stone guardian lions, are one
of the first things visitors to the museum will
notice. And now, those columns stand out even more,
after being covered by thousands of multicolored
lifejackets.
It's not vandalism. It's art -- an installation
called "Safe Passage" by Chinese artist Ai Weiwei.
Those life jackets were once discarded, worn by
refugees making the journey from Turkey to Greece.
They were originally donated to Ai by authorities of
Lesbos, Greece.
And now, its showcasing at the Minneapolis Institute
of Art marks its US debut."
The power of this composition knocked me flat... ;)
