Regina Graffiti Wall
April 18.2002
Not just some stationary wall but a series of moveable aliminium or steel walls that could
be occasionally re-arranged into different shaped "buildings". Hollow on the inside of course.
This would be great.
Just imagine, one week a long wall, the next a series of varying small buildings.
This would be a great start for a larger Graffiti Wall in the future.
Recently there has been interest in creating an official Graffiti Wall in Regina.
A wall where one can legally practice the art.
These pictures were taken on January 4, 2002. Obviously it looks different in the
peak painting periods, but hopefully it will provide background for your imagination.
Why would this proposed location on this page be ideal?
1) Space:
The amount of space available here would permit the creation of one or
more walls of diverse shapes.
2) No existing buildings would be affected.
3) The existing trees can easily be fitted into any design plan. This would not
only preserve the trees, but add to the general atmosphere of the wall. Rather than some
blank sterile location which would only distract from the art, the park surroundings
would blend in with the wall.
4) Tourist attraction. Set within Wascana Centre would attract not only the attention
of visitors but positive comments. Is someone more likely to visit this proposed location
or an abandoned warehouse wall somewhere?
5) Parking. There are 2 small parking lots near the north end. Both near enough to each other
that they could be easily joined to make more space.
6) Expandability. Between the wall and the Wascana Rehabilitation Hospital is ample space
to either add more walls or other projects that would compliment the wall.
These are just a few reasons why this site would be ideal. I'm sure you have others.
Also, if you have any suggestions for the shape and look of the wall feel free to send them to me.
I don't have any connection with the people proposing the wall but am interested in any ideas.
Drawings would be great.
The map below is for location information. Obviously the wall is not to scale.
