Olek’s New Yarn Car Exhibit

Looks like Polish artist Olek is back on the beat, easily one-upping her previous yarn bike effort. Parked outside the Christopher Henry Gallery at 127 Elizabeth Street is this fabulous yarn car.  It’s sheathed in a sleeve of bright colors and interesting patterns, and quite hard to miss.

Fresh off an appearance at the Cuchifritos space inside the Essex Street Market, Olek is now the centerpiece at the Christopher Henry Gallery.  This unique yarn car, along with a brand new yarn bike just a few yards to the north, are both part of her new exhibit, dubbed “Knitting is for Pus***.” The installation began September 9 and runs through October 17.

Meanwhile, the original yarn bike is dying the slow death outside the Essex Street Market.

What mode of transportation would like to be crocheted next?
