10 10 ŠIAULIAI

ART IN THE CITY
80 butterflies, a runaway hairstyle of a princess, a fox, pigeons, burning armour or a worker – these are the hints of
what to look for on the walls of buildings. Have you ever seen balconies adorned with street art drawings? You will
find them on the boulevard – raise your heads.
Green but not grass, with a tail but not a mouse and not a cucumber at all. What? You will see a chameleon that has
squirmed in a tree on the boulevard. There are even more unexpectedly sized animal sculptures in the city. They
all make up the street “zoo”.
Volumetric advertisements are an exceptional legacy found only in Šiauliai: black cancer on a pack of cigarettes,
warning of the harm of smoking; two giant books “placed” on a column; or five black cats “walking” on the roof
of a pharmacy.
Let us stop at the city’s clock “Gaidys” (“A Cock”). “Gaidys” not only sings but also welcomes passers-by in English,
German, French, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Romani, and other languages at midday and 6 p.m.
There is ...a shoe tree growing in Šiauliai! When the cycling and skateboarding season is over, teenagers throw their
shoes on the tree branches. This recurs year after year. We are going to look for it!
