Tom Zarrilli is a yard sale addict. He has spent nearly every saturday morning for the last 20 years going to yard sale in various neighborhoods in Atlanta (he rarely buys anything, but he always goes!) And he's got photos and a blog to prove it! The photo above is from a yard sale in Lake Claire [wiki], Atlanta, where interestingly enough, there never was an actual lake there. It's telling, don't you think: a wax candle of Lenin, bunnies, and a Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 DVD! Tom's blog: Link - via Extreme Craft |
He has a installation at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, which he talked about this evening. Is it art?... not gonna say, but he really enjoys the exploratory aspect of spending large amounts of time in other peoples houses and yards. At the end of the installation (Saturday June 24), there will be a yard sale of all the items, of course.
