Swooning

Swoon is a street artist who primarily deals with creating amazing looking cutouts (like the one below) that are very multi-layered almost telling a story with each work.


Well now she is taking her art to the waters. Last year she worked with a group that created "Swimming Cities of Switchback Sea" that was an interesting work that sailed down the Hudson River as a performance piece.  The video below shows the culmination of what they did:


Well now she is taking this idea on the road, well the river, making collaborative art pieces that sail down rivers and engage the local people who live in the area. They sailed the Mississippi River and now are on the Adriatic Sea from Slovenia to Venice. This seems a bit too hippie for my tastes but I like the general idea of it and am a fan of Swoon mostly because of stuff like this, this, this, and this.
