The Old Dog Presents: The Weird is Good Art Contest!

in contest •  5 years ago  (edited)

If you enjoy the weird and think that different is good then this contest is for you! I'm looking for strange things that have been created to draw attention. Works of art forming the theater of the bizare!

I got this idea while visiting the city of Monza yesterday. I happened to walk by a building with bicycles mounted on its outside wall.

This is What I Saw


I got up close to take this shot which offers you an optical illusion.



Here's what it "really" looked like. A little bit seedy but of great interest none the less!


Now It's Your Turn!


  • Show me a photo of some weird is good art that you've seen
  • Post your photos in the comment section below
  • The photo must be yours NOT one that you find on the internet.
  • Maximum of 2 entries per person
  • There will be at least 5 prizes of 1 Steem each
  • The contest closes in 7 days

Definitely this is the most weird bar I have ever been :DD
Costa Rica, Puerto Viejo

Indeed it is of high interest!

Amazing!

It's pretty unique way they draw attention

Hey Kus-knee,

Could I catch a ride? I can't seem to get my van to work.

This beaut is parked outside the Vancouver Art Gallery:)

A confusing ride to be sure!

It's amazing how they can get something so awkward and heavy to hang of a wall ever though it is only the body shell of this Studebaker car it still has weight i saw this in the entertainment area of Pattaya , Walking Street in Thailand . It hangs in the walkway of entering this live music rock 'n' roll club.

Entry No - 1

That is very strange!

Oh wow that's really cool Old Dog!
Looking forward to what the peeps have to come up with !

Me too. Hey maybe there will be one from you!

I found these cast iron statues quite fascinating i really don't know what they suppose to represent it had no description signs they were just mounted to the ground sitting 6 floors up out on a podium of this huge shopping mall with a great view , maybe representing... Stairway to Heaven.

Entry No - 2.

Very cool and he gives it scale!

Originally creepy! I like it!

This is got to be one of the most weirdest and bizarre things i have seen in Bangkok but i have to say it's quite awesome looking all these bicycles looked in pretty good condition bolted on a wall from one end to the other and this wall must be at least 300 meters long so as you can see quite a few bicycles bolted to this wall and they all have little Christmas lights wrapped around each bike can you image this wall of bikes all lit up at night it would look spectacular. I like to show you two photos for this first entry.

Entry No #1

Very cool!

Thank you @kus-knee :)

This sounds like something I'd like to participate in @kus-knee Hopefully I will return with something suitable soon. Have an awesome day! 💐 (U & R )

Great, we shall wait patiently!

That's like an optical illusion I like it. I've seen a few things like that on office buildings that are optical illusion. Thanks for sharing @kus-knee

Indeed. Maybe you can snap a photo too!

@ kus-knee Hello dear friend. What a strange art you present to us today, I must admit that they are very creative and great.
This art is made of recycled materials, the artists propose to gather garbage from the garbage and create art with them. One is a stork and the other is a very popular goblin from our region.
I hope you find it to your liking
I wish you a prosperous week

Great find. Thanks!

My first entry I saw in front of the Modern Art Gallery in Brisbane.
A rotated Elephant Statue. :)

Strange but true!

IMG_2746.JPG

Yes it does!

Haha it will be amazing.. I will share my entry :)

I can’t wait!

It is possible that this is not the strangest art, but this is my personal work. The idea and execution. Here, only my thoughts and fantasy. I drew a moment of jumping on a skateboard with a simple ballpoint pen on a small piece of A5 paper. In the lower right corner is my nickname.

Wow I didn’t know that you have that talent!

Wow. This is really strange and unusual. Thank you for starting an interesting contest

It should be fun!

That's awesome. Threw me when I saw they were on the side of a building:)

Me too and I took the photo!

This next entry i had to do a post on it because it's so weird and awesome at the same time i have never seen anything like this in any other part of the world and i have traveled a few countries i called this weird contraption "The Mechanical Alien Dragon".

Entry No #2 and here is the link.

When I read your post, I remembered the painted cow sculptures I saw near lake Gruyère many yeas ago.
My first submission is this cow covered with Nespresso coffee capsules

Back side of Indian ambassador car made to a sofa in a reception of a corporate office (that model car is almost ceased to exist now a days, heard that discussion going to get a collaboration with Pegeot) half a century back there was only these model car in the street.

Nice entry!

Thanks... made me happy

I thought this was one of the more bizarre sculptures I have seen!

For sure! Nice entry!

Sounds interesting...I'll try and find something local. I know of something like you put up with bicycles but it is an hour away and I'm not headed in that direction anytime soon.

Ok do your best!

Hahaha.It is an art installation made of barriers next to the MTV building.

Cannot wait to see what the community comes up with!
