New public art / seating





Wow, it has been more than a month since I've graced this blog with a photo of marvelous Melbourne!

Well what better occasion than the unveiling of some new art / seating on the corner of Elizabeth and Bourke Streets. Just outside the Galleria building you will find some shiny new balls.

Just like the money purse on Bourke Street Mall, the intersection between art and function is one where artists can be playful and stretch their creativity.

I can just imagine these silver balls slowly breeding across the city, popping up wherever a seat is desired, being loved by passers by and constantly polished by the bums of the weary.
