The “Signs of Spring” public art was done in both Washington, DC and Malmö, Sweden back in March/April of 2008. I wish our street signage was as pretty as Sweden’s!

In case you are new to our blog, we have written several posts on Public-Art installations both around our community as well as in other parts of the world. AND we have posted about Mark Jenkin’s work Here. sign1

On monday beth posted a site she “Stumbled Upon.” Well I have stumbled upon something I would like to share. First off let me say that I really enjoy public art installations. I love the everyday but different… curiosity they can bring. The above photo is part of a series of Street Installations by Mark Jenkins. This installation was done in Washington DC, July 2006.
