Beware Madrid! There is an invasion of cows in the city! Since January 16, the streets of the Spanish capital are full of glass wool cow sculptures. As part of an exhibition titled Cow Parade, which is currently taking place in Madrid, uniquely painted cows are displayed throughout the city - at metro stations, on main streets and avenues, and in parks.
The figures of cows showcase works of art that are characteristic of local culture as well as city life. After the end of the exposition on April 16, the exhibits will be sold at auction, and the funds received will be used for charitable purposes.
The Cow Parade is an international art exhibition that takes place in major cities around the world. The idea to hold such an event was born in Zurich, Switzerland in 1998. The idea belonged to Walter Knapp. This is how the world history of the Cow Parade, the largest international art project, began. The next were New York, Sydney, Tokyo, London, Stockholm, Brussels. For ten years - more than thirty participating cities.
The goal of the world's largest public art project is to bring art into the daily life of everyone, and this is much better than keeping it locked up behind the doors of galleries.
