" Public Art is the way our various towns represent themselves to the outside world. By definition Public Art is artwork that is free, publicly displayed and tells the world something about us. In a more modern context it may be represented by a work that is more abstract and serves as a design element to bring a public building to life. " - this theme is chosen by Barry and Linda.

"Wall Drawing #917, Arcs and Circles", conceived by late American artist Sol LeWitt (1928-2007), redefined traditional concepts of discreet works of art - that wall drawings are to be considered ideas rather than objects.

Each wall drawing is to conform painstakingly to Mr LeWitt's directions. They are handmade and require the execution and supervision of LeWitt trained artists as they are elaborate.

I remember the Sentosa one. Always remember we left Sam's life vest in a washroom, 1/2 and hour later it was gone.
Some "modern" art is very nice, but mostly I think "artists" are making fun of us. I can say that being a painter myself, lol !
Selling living chicken is forbidden since a looooong time, I actually can't even remember that. In big towns you won't find that either in Morocco, but on the markets on the country side or in the souqs unfortunately yes. Poor things. I could never eat a chicken I have known life before !
Truly amazing art works, some so colourful others have so much work in them.
Even abstract metal people love reading the newspaper! What wonderful things you found around your town!
Every time I see public art I am always amaze by it's beauty. Happy weekend!

Stunning examples of Public Art in our Modern Day time. Great ShootOut photographs and descriptions.
You found striking and important examples of public art and it's hard to pick favorites here. Wow. I'm always a sucker for vibrant displays of kids' art, but I really dig the Sol LeWitt mural-which must be a big attraction in your town. Thanks for this great post.
Very groovy! Love the disco teardrops!
The colors just blow me away! I'd love to see some of these up close. What a great shoot-out display.
What vibrant examples of public art. Loved the guy with the newspaper.
Wonderful variety of work. I'm really taken with the mural, what a wonderful legacy for the students.
you have so many wonderful displays of public art. it must be a real treat to just take in the sights in your town.
The wading pool is beautiful, and I like the newspaper reading sculptures too.
Great finds! Love all the bright colors!
You made me wow especially the first photo! Thanks for sharing!
Your art work depicts a vibrant, modern city! Makes we feel quite alive looking at it, despite the fact yours has to be the last blog I visit tonight or I will never wake in the morning. I'm glad I decided to linger a little longer and see yours, they are lovely images to take to bed with me.
