Art-o-mat

On a recent walk through Chelsea, I came upon a wonderful invention:

Art-o-mat

An Art-o-mat, which is a re-purposed cigarette vending machine that now dispenses artwork.

I put my token in the slot, pulled a knob, and here's what popped out:

Corey Hengen

And inside, was this:

Corey Hengen

A mounted photo by Corey Hengen with a hook on the back, ready for hanging. I like it.

My friend also had a go with his token and came away with this:

Yoshiko Moon

Original calligraphy by Yoshiko Moon.

How cool and fun to enjoy a day of art and then take some home.

  3. I'm embarrassed to say I can't remember which gallery this is in! I thought it was called Tesla, but that may be a car dealership. It's either on the north side of 24th or 26th...I think these machines move around.
