Best of the Week in Public Art

July 12, 2014 by Glenn Weiss

Friend me at glenn.weiss.100 for the originals in real time.

Two best finds of the week are the giant mural in Syria complete this year in the middle of the war and the Smokey Hollow Memorial to the African American Community that was demolished in the late 1960s.

Most popular this week is the Edmonton, Canada, pavilion by Marc Fornes
