Found up on the wire

 
Post by Shelley Spector

The best public/found art I have ever seen in Philly is right in front of my gallery, SPECTOR, on Bainbridge between 5th and 6th. It is a pair of sneakers -- actual size -- that are made out of plywood and attached to each other by a shoelace. Someone made them and threw them over the telephone wire. If you don't look carefully they seem 3D and real, especially since someone threw a real pair next to them. There is another pair at 3rd and South. [Ed. --stay tuned for pictures of these sneakers coming soon.]

I noticed them about five years ago and have tried to find out who made them. Does anyone know?

--See Shelley Spector's art online at her website. Spector Gallery's current show is "Declasse" solo and collaborative work by Andrew Jeffrey Wright of Space 1026.
