~OLEK . . THE END IS FAR
BROOKLYN UPDATE – REPORTING & PHOTOS BY: KATE CERIGO
KATE was walking along the Williamsburg East River ‘coast’ one early evening, about a week ago – when she spotted this hand-crocheted full-color primary spectrum . . . camo van.
actually a very large van, parked at North 7 and Kent.
note, even the wheel chassis – is crocheted !!
she pretty much thought right away it was: OLEK . . .
sweet, darling DARLA, just back from London, her close friend who lives nearby . . said she had indeed seen a “woman crocheting on it the week before”.
all me and Kate could think, was . . how much bizarre & creative stuff goes on, L-I-V-E in the streets of Brooklyn, all the time !! that even Darla wouldn’t think twice about a woman crocheting a van – in bright rainbow-colored camo !!
haha.
that’s so Brooklyn in a nutshell, summer 2013.
“The End is Far” – that’s good news.
NAT GEO or was it HISTORY CHANNEL . . says our sun is going to explode, and take all our ‘hard copy’ art and artifacts, architecture and h-i-s-t-o-r-y, and maybe even us – along with it ? if we don’t find another place to park – ourselves.
for sure, in 2 billion years.
or was it DISCOVERY, anyways . . was I imagining things or have they updated / as in speeded-up the no-win scenario by – 3 billion years ?
yikes.
so, sure enuff:
google . . . OLEK and THE END IS FAR, and voila, OLEK’S most recent show . . pops up !!
