Got a question for Jay (assumed you would be the man in the know on this subject), but hopefully anyone with some knowledge of legal public art can chime in.

Getting married in just over a month and have some ideas for the photography for the day. As much as garden shots are pretty, we also want some urban pics.

We had an idea of the Morphett Street Bridge, get some pics with the local artwork. easy.

Had another thought, that it would be cool to have a photo of us both spray painting something on the wall, or have a pic next to something we have an actual street artist produce. The latter being my preference.

Is a legal wall 'legal' for anyone at any time to throw up a piece as they see fit? Or is council permission sought for every mural that is produced?

We have a particular theme/artwork that I have carried over when creating the save the dates to the invites, and also through to the stubby coolers and shot glasses as gifts for guests - so it would have been great to have something similar thrown up on a wall and have a shot with it.

Examples

morphett street is pretty much the only legal 'walk up' wall where you can spray whatever you like whenever you like.

i have a few people i could ask if you wanted something in particular painted, supplying the paint would almost guarantee they would paint whatever you want.

would be awesome to arrange a wall of your own, that way there would be no real rush and it would stay up. but morphett bridge could be made to work. with enough people with cameras and some lighting setups around it would deter anyone else coming along and claiming part of the wall while your in progress. if you would like me to ask around just let me know. did you have a date in mind?

i love the idea, would definitely be a unique wedding shoot and i cant wait to see pics

Mate that would be fantastic - i'll supply as much paint as is required.

Wedding is on the 15th Dec, expect we'll be swinging by the city on the way to the reception at around 5pm. So anytime before then, and before some wigga tags it! lol.

How long would the hanging bird cage and name in that specific font (i'm picky!) take - an hour?

Edited by barraspalding

not sure what they would expect. reliability also seems an issue. plenty of 'oh im keen' yet no further action

Who'da thought grafitto taggers would be unreliable employees hey! haha

oh well, i'll put that idea to bed. dammit!

    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
