Yarn bombing

Yarn bombing is a phenomenon that has spread throughout the knitting and crotcheting world. Allowing creatives to add a fun touch to objects you wouldn’t normally expect. We love the yarn bombing on this portable toilet, elevating it from a normal single portable toilet.

These were knit by Sue Caldwell and the patrons of her shop Lovelyarns in Baltimore. Maryland and were knitted for ArtScape, the biggest free art festival in America. Reckon you could give it a go?

Bournemouth Arts by the Sea Festival

2013’s Bournemouth Arts by the Sea Festival saw Arts University Bournemouth (AUB) take over the beach with their show “Lavish”. Which included a commissioned series of portable toilet art as well as an information point designed by Architecture students in the Square and performances in the Gardens.

The series of portable toilet art included a hand made monster on the beach, a hedge growing out of a toilet as well as a flashing portable loo, check out this video.

Similar to the yarn bombing style, this portable toilet had a creative makeover at Bournemouth Arts Festival in 2013.

 

Another piece from Bournemouth Arts Festival, this portable toilet has had a glam makeover – making it an intriguing mirrored room which was used for performances.

Burning Man Festival, Nevada Desert

These are the portable toilets at Burning Man Festival in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert, the faces are made out of paper mache. Due to the location of the festival, they are some of the most isolated toilets in the world.

Don’t Miss A Sec

Monica Bonvicini’s one-way glass mirrored toilet is an art installation. It was located on the old parade ground at the former Royal Army Medical College. This site once housed Millbank Penitentiary, where prisoners awaited transportation to Australia. The toilets feature one way mirrored glass and it is impossible to see into the toilet but the person inside can see passers-by. The toilets were free to use and intended to make the user ‘question their environment’. Are you brave enough?

Banksy’s ‘Bog Henge’

Banksy’s ‘Bog Henge’ replicates the ancient Stone Henge. He placed it in Glastonbury to honor the Summer Solstice on June 21, the festival’s first day that year.

The installation was then taken to Bristol’s City Museum and Art Gallery as an installation for the “Banksy versus Bristol Museum” exhibition. The exhibition consisted of more than 100 pieces of Banksy’s art. Replacing what was originally there, and lasted for three weeks.

Andreas Slominski’s  ‘Das Ü des Türhüters’ (The O of the Door)

This amazing exhibition took place in 2016 at the Hall for Contemporary Art, Deichtorhallen, Hamburg. It symbolized the ongoing development of our cities. The exhibition featured over 100 portable toilets, some transformed into independent works of art. We love how his unique style has made these portable toilets look completely unrecognisable!
