Public Walls Enquiry

[barraspalding]

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.

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?

not sure how long it will take, but i'll ask on my page and see what responses i get

[Jay019]

not looking good, people are asking if its a paid job. think its time i stop taking photos of graff, seeing as thats not a paid job, lol.

And what $$$ would this job cost me - for curiosities sake

[Jay019]

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