Every child with a bicycle has attached a playing card with a clothespin to a wheel, becoming a poet transforming his bike into a motorcycle, the sound pure music to his/her ears. There is only one step to musical bicycle sculptures. Calder or Tinguely could have taken it. John Cage might have played them.

Even an old school desk can become a sound box.

Spin the wheels, put your ear to the side of the desk and listen.

Live at the Hudson Opera House!

Standing outside my office I waited to meet Bruno. “You won’t miss him,” I was told. And no, I certainly did not. You see, Bruno is impossible to miss. In fact, I dare say that on that October day the afternoon sunlight reached from beyond the heights of the midtown buildings and found only him – white-bearded, clad in blue denim and red chambray. His energy was not constrained by the gridded city streets. As he came closer and closer, I was certain that this man, whose energetic step seemed to thrust him higher than the city’s tallest skyscrapers, was Bruno.

By the time we arrived in Red Hook, Brooklyn to see the famous Lehigh Valley #79 barge, Bruno’s magic spell had been cast and I was captivated and charmed by the Art Barge project – birds, fish, and other animals made from the cardboard, fabric, plastic bottles, corks, wire, and other recyclables that fill his treasure chest. It’s not too often you see an alchemist at work! Phone calls and typed letters followed our visit to the barge, plotting the next steps. Bruno was determined to make the Art Barge float, and, now, with the help of his friends – and YOU! – I quote the magician: “CAN WE DO IT? YES WE CAN.”

Let’s help Bruno work his magic in cities and towns along the Hudson River as he sails south from Hudson, New York this summer. Please click here to support Bruno’s Art Barge project.
