Description

At our most recent show, we got to see a different type of art. This is Jasper Shangle, otherwise known as StatueDude. You can check out his website at www.statuedude.com. It was rather interesting sitting in our booth, watching him. He made only 4 movements other than when he paused to drink a bit of Powerade or water.
Some of the funniest occurrences were when little old ladies would stop and look at him then start talking to him, then realize he wasn't going to talk back. Once a German Sheppard dog went and sniffed the nose of his statue dog then jumped back like "Oh! You're not real!" :giggle:

From what we understand this is far more common in Europe, than in the U.S.

This kind of performing art is very common in Europe. On some weekends the streets of the City centre where I live looks like an open air gallery with statues in different colors and posses too.

The City of Arnhem in the Netherlands is hosting every year a World Championship for this.
