Prince Alfred Park is a park in the inner city suburb of Surry Hills which is currently being redeveloped. The hoardings around the development site have been decorated with artwork by artists and the community. It is part of the Art and About Sydney festival, in a project titled 'Oh Alfred! Reflections of Prince Alfred Park'. This sculpture by John Doe and Lachlan McGuiness celebrates the power of wind as a source of energy and is inspired by new environmental initiatives being installed in the park.
Interesting artwork.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting indeed !
ReplyDeleteUnusual piece of art. Not sure if poor Alfred would have liked it.
ReplyDeleteIs is going up or being pulled down?
ReplyDeleteLooks good; is that a lifesaver indulging in a bath to the left?
ReplyDeletePeter, they put these up about a month ago and I think they may leave them there until they finish rebuilding the pool. There's heaps more along Chalmers Street which I couldn't photograph as well because the sun was directly behind them.
ReplyDeleteJayne, yes that lifesaver is indeed indulging in a bath, complete with a few rubber duckies.
Great art work.
ReplyDeleteInteresting art work :)
ReplyDeleteIs there a connection between the power of wind and the bath/ducky thing?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteHappy travels!!
Very interesting artwork. Happy MYM!
ReplyDeleteWow! Celebrating wind energy..... and there REALLY is a John Doe?????
ReplyDeleteRed Nomad OZ, good question. I think it has something to do with using wind power to pump water and heat water, but I can't be sure.
ReplyDeleteFun sculptures. Nice photo.
ReplyDeleteFun sculptures. And you caught the installation just in time as I read in the link that it closed yesterday(the 24th)
ReplyDeleteHi JBar, that's a great strategy to hide those... but nice pieces of art...

ReplyDeleteMy Mellow Yellow post, have a great week ahead!
Very interesting I see bath tub with somebody inside^_^
ReplyDeleteMYM-More flowers
One golden gear - must be the special one. Interesting art - if not what I'd expect to find in a park.
ReplyDeleteThis post has me laughing. My father-in-law's name was Alfred and the title of the artwork -- I can just hear in my m-i-l's voice. "Oh, Alfred." Sweet old memories.
ReplyDeleteThe sculpture itself is interesting and unusual -- again, Sydney triumphs!
Nice Park!
