Is it Art? (Or an oversize washing line?)


When we were leaving Buffalo airport on Friday we couldn't help but notice this colourful selection of t-shirts and shirts above the check-in desks.


There was a further selection on the other side of the Departure area. 

The t-shirts were very varied in colour, size and with logos representing all parts of the US and beyond.

There was an explanatory poster indicating that this was an installation commissioned by the Allbright Knox Gallery in Buffalo and arranged by Kaarina Kaikkonen, a Finnish artist who creates public art like this from donated clothing.

The clothing items in this piece comprised 1,000 shirts and t shirts which had been donated by members of the public in western New York State.
