As I walked home down Poplar Crescent on Monday I noticed mysterious writing on the footpath opposite the Centennial Pool, and wondered what it was about.

All was revealed in this morning’s “Press”. Alejandro Haiek Coll, a Venezuelan artist and architect, who is artist-in-residence at The Physics Room had set up a viewing platform where people could sit and watch the demolition. I didn’t see the actual installation, but the markings were intriguing.
“This kind of art is lots of fun
– intriguing stuff for anyone.”

Yes, I saw that in the Press, too. Looked like fun.

reminds me of the pavement artists in London.. here in Carterton found similar happening the other day, one way to get a message across to pedestrians!

Quite a good way – as long as it doesn’t rain.

talking of London, it was near Green Park where the footpath was always *painted* by chalk lovely pictures.
