Swimming pool art

Modern art installations tend to be a bit ‘too cool for school’, but this is a brilliant piece of art, if you ask me.

An Argentinian artist called Leandro Erlich has made a swimming pool with a room inside.

Quite simply, he’s put a piece of (very thick) glass over the pool and 10cm of water on top.

From the top it looks as if people are walking underwater, from underneath it looks as if you’re underwater. Very, very clever.

Andy Warhol Piñata

I’ve always found piñatas a bit odd, which is probably because they weren’t part of my upbringing, but this Andy Warhol one that is going to feature at the 2010 Brooklyn Ball in New York ticks my boxes.

Hitting that with a stick would prove vastly more entertaining than a stuffed donkey.
