is it supposed to look like a vase full of dead flowers?

I was really disappointed when I saw that one. I vote the structure stays as a kind of flowerpot/vase/plinth, but the crappy top attachments get removed ASAP and artists can apply for it to be an exhibition space periodically, say for 6 months at a time. That would be fun, if the structure lasts that long!

Just wait for next week’s post, when you’ll see how the tree has been claimed by the feds…

You like the frame better than the art? Not an auspicious sign…

Please keep us informed about the fence. Is it part of the, uhh, art? (The little green feet are a nice touch.)

Actually, it’s tinny galvanised iron…

Just what a city needs, more concrete!

Because its internal structure is so unbelievably skinny it won’t withstand a good blow, let alone a few tonnes of soil… which might be a good thing. Let’s hope they wrote in a good exit clause. Imagine having to maintain it in perpetuity???

Why doesn’t it have a tree in it?

I immediately red that as a poster site, or less gig based shenanigans. They may have allowed for such in the maintenance budget (in that precinct you would hope someone had the foresight to mention the traditional used of structures in that scale).But
