This fine musical instrument left of a street corner downtown is part of Pianos on parade art/music program. I am enjoying photographing them and listening to the music that some can make come out of them. I found this one by the Black Dog Cafe downtown St. Paul on 4th and Broadway it is called “Life in a can” and is by: My life in a can by: Tamas “Zen One” Pomazi.

This is a part of a project called pianos on parade. There are twenty pianos in public places around the metro area. They have been decorated by by local artists. This one is outside of the Ordway in downtown St. Paul. The parade was organized by an organization called keys 4/4 kids.
The piano at the Ordway was decorated by local artist Joy Liberman and it is called “keycycle” Amazingly it is being played on a regular basis.
I was wondering what was up with the wires and poles that have been in the Upper Landing Park for a the last couple of weeks. When I was walking my dog the other night they were hanging light bulbs on the wires. The lights are part of Northern Spark Nuit Blanche (White night festival) an art event that begins at dusk today June 4th and goes until dawn tomorrow June 5th.
“Northern Spark will include a diversity of art forms and projects including multi-story projections, audio environments with vistas, floating works on barges, houseboats and paddleboats, headphone concerts, and the use of everything from bioluminescent algae and sewer pipes for organs to more traditional media such as banjos and puppets.”
This will involve more than 200 artists and it is along the Mississippi River in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Things that we see every day look different at night. I have to admit one of my favorite activities is to go out at night and photograph the ordinary. See you tonight.
It is art crawl weekend. Saturday April 30, noon until 8:00 pm Sunday, May 1, noon until 5:00 pm. I love our art crawl. :)
