Matej Andraz Vogrincic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Matej Andraz Vogrincic (?? ??, 197?, Ljubljana, Slovenia), has made his name as a "tailor for houses". Using donated clothing, he first "dressed" a dilapidated house in his hometown, and then presented a similar project at the Venice Biennial in 1991. A year later, he created the project "Car Park: Members Only" - a wall installation consisting of 15,000 toy cars placed on a wall of a building in Australia's Adelaide. In 2002, he put up a watering can installation in the Australian outback. The installation consisted of some 2,000 plaster watering cans arranged over the area of a football field. As part of the 2003 festival in Australia's Perth, he filled up an area of 7,000 square metres with 10,000 balloons of red, orange, blue, pink, green and yellow colours.
