That's a bus stop?

By kavefish | Filed Under Art

What an interesting design for a bus stop! This fully functioning bus stop is in Ventura, California, and looks like a mutant snake house. The face of the house vaguely reminds me of the strange house in Beetlejuice.

The designer of the bus stop is Dennis Oppenheim, a pioneering artist in conceptualism, land art, body art, video, and sculpture since the 1960s. In 1997, he created the sculpture shown below called "Device to Root out Evil," which is now located in Harbour Green Park, the longest continuous waterfront park in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia.
