Anyone who uses the public restrooms in Yellow Spring, a southwest Ohio village, will be treated to a display of original paintings on the walls.

Dubbed the ChamberPot Gallery, the exhibition that opened in mid-June is the brainchild of two local artists hoping to draw attention to this artist-oriented community.

"For the most part, everybody has been very excited about this. They just think it's a hoot," said Corrine Bayraktaroglu, co-organizer of the restroom gallery. "And we're getting puns left, right and center - take a peek while you leak."

Some of the 19 works, mostly by local artists, are bathroom-themed, including a dress made of pink, blue and yellow tissues, and a person's face screaming out: "Got Paper?" Some paintings are abstract, and other subjects featured include an outhouse and a person blowing soap bubbles.

The idea for the display got quick approval from the arts council and officials in the village of 3,700, which has a 1960s feel with people in tie-dyed clothing and other hippie-like attire frequenting streets lined with artisan shops.

There are other places have given restroom users something to look at. For example, sports pages are placed on the wall over urinals in some restaurant restrooms.

"It really is a good way to incorporate art into buildings," said Kevin Cole, spokesman for the Sheboygan center. "Those restrooms in Yellow Springs - more than likely - will become attractions in themselves."

Don Haddox, 66, of nearby Beavercreek, suggested moving the paintings down to eye level when he uses the men's room.

The paintings will be displayed for a year. After six months, the artwork in the women's room will move to the men's room and vice versa.

位于俄亥俄州西南部黃泉村的一所公廁內(nèi)搞起了畫展,上廁所的人可以在此欣賞到掛在墻上的各種原創(chuàng)繪畫作品。

這個被稱為“ChamberPot畫廊”的畫展于6月中旬開放,源于當?shù)貎晌凰囆g(shù)家的靈感。他們希望以此來吸引人們關(guān)注這個藝術(shù)氛圍濃厚的小鎮(zhèn)。

廁所畫廊的協(xié)辦者Corrine Bayraktaroglu說:“從很大程度上來看,每個人對這個畫展都很感興趣。他們覺得這很新鮮。我們在廁所左邊、右邊和中間的墻上都掛上了帶有雙關(guān)意味的畫--在你方便時可以瞄幾眼。”

參展的19幅作品大部分出自當?shù)厮囆g(shù)家之手,有一些作品以廁所為主題,其中一幅畫展示的是由粉色、藍色和黃色衛(wèi)生紙做成的裙子,畫中的人物大叫:“有紙嗎?”還有一些作品比較抽象,另有一些畫題包括一座戶外廁所和一個吹著肥皂泡的人。

舉辦廁所畫展的想法很快得到當?shù)厮囆g(shù)委員會和官員們的同意。黃溫泉村共有3700人口,整個村莊充滿了上世紀60年代的氣息,村民穿著扎染的服裝或是一身嬉皮士打扮出現(xiàn)在街頭,街邊散布著許多藝術(shù)品手工作坊。

黃泉村另有一些地方也在廁所里擺放了一些東西供方便者欣賞。如,一些餐館洗手間便池上方的墻壁上就貼有報紙的體育版。

Sheboygan 中心發(fā)言人凱文·科爾說:“在廁所辦畫廊是讓藝術(shù)與建筑物相結(jié)合的一個很好的辦法。黃泉村的這些廁所很可能會因此成為‘景點’。”

黃泉村附近Beavercreek村66歲的村民堂·哈德克斯建議,應(yīng)該把這些畫移到與眼睛平齊的位置,這樣他蹲下來方便時可以更好地欣賞。

廁所畫展為期一年。半年后,女廁的畫作和男廁的畫作將交換場地。
