Public Art - Zakim Bunker Hill - Boston


Public Art Sculpture - The Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge in Boston was one element of the historic 'Big Dig' public works project. Harkrader photographed this cable span detail during the Bridge Walk on Sunday, Oct. 6, 2002. Approximately 800,000 people walked across two such Zakim Bunker Bridge events before the city turned the bridge over to the 'Car Gods'.

Australian Rail Station Urinal Public Art

Australians and Europeans have a keen sense of public humor compared to many disconcerted Americans who can be easily offended at a Calvin Klein ad. The Department of Aussie Rail has given this Public Toilet (Loo) and it's patron rail passengers a dose of humor as they relieve themselves. Public art is at it's finest here when the general public participates in street theatre and (high) art. Dig those contemporary stainless steel urinals! Harkrader backpacked the Eastern coast of Australia in 01 and 02 between Brisbane and Tazmania, including four trips into Sydney over a 3 month period, transported by rail and lodging by YHA hostels.
