Re: Bicycle sculpture

[Gonz]

Yeah, its not very clear about the dates/length.  This website
however, seems to imply that it  will be here about a year, so leaving
around June I'm guessing:

Re: Bicycle sculpture

[Igor PDML-StR]

Thanks!
We might take a look at it if we make it to that part of the town before 
the installation is removed (if it would be, as you mentioned).


We've been to that part of the city quite a few times since last summer,
but I didn't know about it.

As far as I can tell, it started last summer, even though these people
are bad at specifying the year:

 I am guessing they are not thinking about eternity... :-)

The one with the building behind it is easier for me to see that it's 
supposed to be bicycles.

Re: Bicycle sculpture

Thanks Richard.  You should see it in person, I think my eyes got
crossed looking at it!  When I looked away, it took me a second to be
able to focus my eyes.

Re: Bicycle sculpture

[Igor PDML-StR]

I couldn't decide either.
The dark portion (tree) in the photo with the sky is a bit of a 
distraction, and in the one with the building in the back, I'd prefer no 
sky in the background.


BTW, where is it? (I assume in Austin, but where?)

Re: Bicycle sculpture

[ann sanfedele]

I can see that (um, so to speak) .. But I prefer it to the other despite 
the op art eye pain  but in the second the
background isn't split between the building and the sky...  If you could 
place yourself in a position where behind

the work it was dark throughout that might be the best yet.

Thanks Paul.  I think I'll go back there with a couple of different

Buildings behind make it more identifiable as a bicycle sculpture but I
