Richard Greaves' "Anarchitect"


Danielle Fattori

If you need a few repairs around the house I think you should get in contact with this fella. he he he.

I found this article on Greaves in Raw Vision (Vol 43, Pg 30) I thought it was pretty crazy and out there so I decided to put it on the blog. This piece was done on his country property in Quebec. I can't believe that Greaves has made this whole house plus many other installations out of crap. The one thing I really love about this artwork is the fact Greaves hasn't really made that much of an effort to make it straight. There's just something that gives you an unease, weird, psychopath vibe. What's even more frightening is that there is apparently 12 of these installations around his property (I feel sorry for his wife). The inside of these installations on the walls are pages from books and pictures of birds. I cant believe that people are actually allowed to walk through them (they have to hoist themselves up to the second floor).

That's it for this blog, have a good one.

that is one awesome house. maybe not the most stable but sounds really interesting on the inside too.
