Random Art

Just a couple of arty things I've come across in the last few days and think are really cool:

TheAsian Field - 180000 lumpy clay figures by Antony Gormley. You have to go look at the pic. "The art is not there to be looked at; it is looking at you." Very cool.
I saw a poem on the underground today. It was one of those where I just got an instant visceral reaction (pretty good considering that I read it as I was travelling down an escalator). I thought it was part of the Poems on the Underground project (which I really like, by the way, and think they should do more of), but it's actually part of the Platform for Art project. It's by Ugo Rondinone:
It's awesome.

I've been seeing a couple of A4 posters on my way to work in the mornings - a little cartoon drawing, one of a mouse, one of man, with the slogan "Practise random kindness and senseless acts of beauty". It's a great idea, the slogan really gets in your head. I wish I had the guts to actually do something in that spirit.
