It probably looked a lot "better" before the cans faded and they took down the pop-top curtains.<br /><br />And the stuff embedded in the cement...<br /><br />When I was there, it looked like they had just built the apts/condos on your right in the picture.Scopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14671603955380819514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932924021203779947.post-76040330162909224702009-06-06T13:59:02.819-05:002009-06-06T13:59:02.819-05:00Ana - Actually, the overall effect is exactly what...Ana - Actually, the overall effect is exactly what you think. It's a bit tawdry, tacky even. The artist did not spend hours crafting beautiful things, he just tacked them up and kept going. It's bizarre in it's juxtaposiyion near other expensive and gorgeous properties. Also it's very peaceful but just off of a busy street. So in person I think you get the same impression as you got from the photos, which makes me happy. Bizarre, not pretty, interesting, and somehow pleasing.

It must be one of those things you have to see in person. I love the recycling aspect and the artist vision. Cool.<br />Thanks for sharing.Nothing to Seehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01546118396229222978noreply@blogger.com
