RE: General Arts and Culture News - Canard - 08-24-2017

Anyone know when Neruda Arts is going to start the installation of the Mural on Charles by the Kitchener Market ION stop?

Supposed to be next week, no?


RE: General Arts and Culture News - Canard - 08-24-2017

Was supposed to be July. Is there new data that says it's next week?

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

It is a little late but I'm happy that they are investing in the station instead of shutting it down. It's a pretty big investment to upgrade and expand programming when the easier decision might have been to shut down.

I see in the paper that local artist, Peter Etril Snyder, died yesterday.

Yes! Saw that this morning on my bike ride to work this morning; it looks fantastic!

It almost looks like it will be taller than the wall itself. I hope it is robust.

I love this kind of art. It will look great. I’m a bit concerned the 2x4s aren’t pressure-treated; wouldn’t that be a good idea? I guess they’re not in the ground but it still seems like a good idea for something that will be outside 24x7.


RE: General Arts and Culture News - panamaniac - 08-30-2017

I have no idea, but I suspect that the proponent doesn't really envisage a very long life for this work. Thinking years rather than decades. That seems OK to me.


RE: General Arts and Culture News - Canard - 08-30-2017

I'm just wondering, why is that okay? I like art that lasts for decades or centuries. I loved the bas relief patterns inside the Roissypole RER station:

Why do you think that?  Neruda Arts'/Alapinta's mural on Hall's lane is three years old, and still looks new.  While the size of this installation dictates a different approach, why do you think they would be creating disposable art?

I agree, but at the same time there is a big difference between something formed into the concrete and any sort of painted mural. I would hope that the intent is for the art to last as long as can reasonably be expected of something painted outdoors.

Saw the rest of the Neruda Arts mural up today. Looks great.

I don't know, perhaps it will last.  But the idea of something artistic that is less than permanent doesn't really bother me.  I don't know what the Electrohome mural on the Duke St garage is made of, but it has lasted for decades now.
