Vandalist: Sleep Country Canada

Why paint a mattress anywhere else?

LOCATION: West Toronto

FIELD NOTES: What we like most about these pieces is that someone made a stencil specifically for abandoned mattresses. It’s a rare garbage day when nary a mattress is to be seen, and it’s about time something creative was done with them.

CORRECTION: July 18, 9:55 AM The photos above were taken by Rebecca Chapman, not Michael Stulberg, as cited before. The correction has been made above.

    There’s really no need to do this since the bodily fluid stains peppering all discarded mattresses are already avant grade abstract art.

    I always give curbed mattresses a nice wide buffer zone because I don’t want to catch bed bugs.

      I hear the artist calls the piece ‘bed buxx’ as her tag name is ‘buxx’!….puny!

    There’s a joke about tags that aren’t supposed to be removed in there somewhere.
