Unusual Art

These peices of art are quite unusual; the pictures of the toilets were submitted by Carlyn L. to The Society of the Happily Unusual website. There is no information about the artist since I do not think there was one artist that did all these peices. As I was looking through the toilet art gallery I was astonished to seee how many restrooms had been transformed into an art gallery. At first glance these toilets do not even look like toilets and it is the fun part about art. You can make anything ordinary into something extraordinary.
This public toilet was built in front of London’s Tate Britain Gallery as an art exhibit by an Italian born artist. What is special about this restroom is that it is made up of semi-transparent glass. The “visitors” of the public toilet (who need to defy their own fear and embarrassment) can see through the one-way mirrored glass but passers-by can’t see the person inside the restroom. This medium is very unique but it is a new medium to express onesself and also use humor.
