Has the big mural gone up yet on the retaining wall along Charles St at Madison? I'm looking forward to seeing pics (and wondering whether it will be respected by the taggers).


RE: General Arts and Culture News - Canard - 07-22-2017

No, it hasn't even been started. Sad It seems like it is woefully behind schedule. IIRC it was supposed to be done by now.


RE: General Arts and Culture News - Pheidippides - 07-23-2017

The mural is done, it just needs to be installed.

Neruda Arts had a table at the market a few weeks ago and said it should be installed by the end of July. There is an event at the end of August on their calendar; perhaps an official unveiling?

Wait, what?  I thought it was being painted onto the concrete... is that not the case?

At any rate - thanks for the update, I was just about to tweet out a picture of the blank wall, wondering about what was going on.  From what the link you posted shows, it looks like it's going to be beautiful!

EDIT - If you click here and work your way back (hit the right arrow), you can see a bunch of photos from the painting of it at the Granite Club on Seagram.


RE: General Arts and Culture News - panamaniac - 07-23-2017

Yeah, it has been painted on wood panels that will be mounted on the concrete wall.


RE: General Arts and Culture News - Canard - 07-23-2017

Will that withstand the weather?


RE: General Arts and Culture News - panamaniac - 07-23-2017

I imagine it will wear about as it would if it were painted directly on concrete. The bigger concern for me is whether it will be vandalized.


RE: General Arts and Culture News - Canard - 07-23-2017

I'm just thinking painted wood will rot pretty quickly, unless it's treated or something.


RE: General Arts and Culture News - KevinL - 07-23-2017

I'm sure the panels have been treated wtih something; I also trust some kind of cladding will cover the top edge to keep off the worst of the elements.


RE: General Arts and Culture News - Canard - 07-23-2017

Hopefully! The photos on the artist's Facebook page show blank sheets of plywood. That's what made me wonder. I'm sure they've thought about this, though!

They have an August date on the webpage, I wonder if that's the installation day.

In addition to the 5PM news, CTV Kitchener is finally upgrading their studio to HD.

Get out ... that's only 4-5 years late #CKCO

It's now nearly the end of August, and installation hasn't even begun. When will installation begin?

Every time I bike by I am disappointed it is not there yet. Sad

Maybe we can get Bowling For Dollars, Trivia & Co, and Big Top Talent in 4K!

And a kids' block, with Romper Room and Tiny Talent Time?
