The Great Swallow

I think this is a very cool installation/performance piece.  It seems almost humorously simple, but it taps into issues of security and privacy, animal-human interaction, and the precariousness of such cohabitation.  And the nest plays off of the glass of the buildings very nicely.

Yes, I love the idea of nesting! Especially juxtaposed to the steel exterior of modern architecture. The is an artist in London who built a nest in the middle of a gallery- it became a nesting place for artists/visitors of the exhibit... just goes to show how such a simple little idea can be used to spark great conversations in different ways.
