News – Arty Bomb Scare – London

All those people caught up in Monday’s tube traffic, bus delays and police blocks, must have been overjoyed to experience Monica Saiveva’s installations littered around the streets of west London. Decorated by nails and dedication notes, what these pieces must have looked like at a rushed, crowded, open to all, 8 am slot, who knows? Whatever the case, to those who experienced them, the works didn’t appear exactly friendly. Still, they didn't look like your usual inconspicuous bomb package either. Nonetheless, Saiveva inevitably managed to cause chaos, disrupting the journeys of thousands of commuters, shooting herself in the foot several times over.
