Artwork scribbled on the outside of the Twin River City Museum of Art
Permalink

To the west, you can see one of the most recent additions to the museum. Since many artworks are light-sensitive, the eastern wall of the museum has very few windows. That, combined with the view over the square, has inspired a number of anonymous artists to add their own artwork to the outside of the museum.

Since 41031, the museum has officially classed the exterior wall as one of their exhibits — although it is one of the few artworks that is not subject to normal preservation or conservation standards. If you look closely, you can see that newer pieces of art have been painted directly over older, faded art. The museum has a camera stationed on the other side of the square in a fixed position that it uses to compile time lapses of the wall; you can view them on our[ex] Network collection.

If you're considering adding your own art to the wall, please notice the plaque next to the eastern exit from the museum. It reads:

This wall is an official part of the Twin River City Museum of Art. By altering it, you consent to having your work photographed and shared under the terms listed in the Museum's contribution guidelines.

The ladder beside the plaque is provided for your convenience; if you want to integrate a ladder into your artwork on an ongoing basis, please bring your own and remember that unlike paintings, physical objects obstructing traffic in the square may be removed by the city maintenance department, as usual.

Of course, if you wish to contribute art to part of the curated collection, you can also contact the museum's docents through normal channels.

Near the ground on the northern side, someone has scrawled a series of indecipherable runes in bright blue spray paint. The edges of the runes are decorated with swirls of purple that make the shape of flowers and flames. Someone with a different hand has come along later, crossed out two of the runes, and written a correction above them.

Near the middle, there's a big, green, stylized frog, wearing large eyes and a warm, naive smile. In it's front paws it holds a big, proud, jarringly realistic, orange-metallic letter Þ.

 

And nobody but it's author quite knows what in the world it means.

Rather high up, someone has attached a number of long narrow shelves with ramps between them and the top one slanted slightly to act like a roof. Each shelf has slight lip and several of them have randomly placed panels that effectively turn part of their length into a hollow box. The day they appeared there was birdseed spread on the ground in front.
