Pianos on Odessa streets
Launched on: 03.08.2015

Installing pianos in public places with the opportunity for everyone to play them.

Around the world you can find the "Play Me I'm Yours" project. This is a themed international project by British artist Luke Jerram. The goal of this project was to encourage people to engage in easy and unobtrusive communication through installing painted instruments in public places.

For example, in Munich there are pianos with free access in 14 public places, in Geneva — 32 pianos. Musical instruments are placed in parks, at bus stops, train stations, galleries, markets, on bridges, ferries.

In this article you can see photos of some such instruments around the world: goo.gl/kqaeMq.

Also, in Ukraine there are pianos in public places too, here's an article about Mykolaiv: http://goo.gl/1omJVo

Here's another video from Liverpool:
