Found Art Music

Have you heard of Joshua Bell, one of the best and youngest classical violinists?, today I read this article in the washington post where Bell plays undercover in a metro station in Washington, DC to the morning commuters, will they recognize who he is? will anyone stop and listen? Will he make any money?

This made me think a lot about the Found Art project. How to make people appreciate real art- Having the right context has a lot to do with the reaction it gets. why, though? this was Found Art Music and almost no one stopped and listened.

If you have a moment please read the article, it's interesting AND it has video and sound clips, he is an amazing violinist!

wow...this was really interesting. isn't it fascinating how the perception of things changes when you take them out of context. I will try to be more aware of the beauty surrounding me...

thanks for the link.

Mr Bell is a virtuoso. I can't believe people just past him by. You are righ, just like the found art. What a world we live in.
