(Street) Art
Nagu mujalgi suurlinnades on Melbourne'is urbanistlik kunst kaunistamas kitsamaid tänavaid ja kõrvalisemaid majanurki. Kultuur on ilmselgelt vanem kui aerosool-nitrovärv, ent täna nähtav on maksimaalselt paari aasta vanune - varasemad kujutised on jäänud kultuurikihi alla, mis kasvab iga nädalaga.

As in the major cities in all over the world there is a street art scene also in Melbourne that decorates the alley ways and building corners. That culture is obviously older than nitro paint in aerosol cans but the ones you can see today are maximum few years old because the new layers are added weekly.

Flindersi tänava rongijaama vana maa-alune osa, mis avati 1950ndatel, sai suure uputuse osaliseks 1960ndate lõpus, on nüüd taas avatud. Kuigi enam ei toimi siin maa-alune kino, restoranid, poed ja keeglisaal tegutseb siin näiteks juuksur ja pisike kunstikauplus. Seinte orvades on justkui valgustatud veeta akvaariumides minimalistlikud skulptuurid ja installatsioonid. Suurepärane koht linnasüdames, ent inimesed alles (taas)harjuvad siitkaudu käima.
The old underground part of the Flinders st station that was opened in the 1950s suffered a huge flood in the end of 1960s is opened again. Although the original underground cinema, restaurants, shops and bowling court are abandoned there is new initiative taken up by a small art shop and a habedasher that serve by-passers daily. In the wall nieches that look like waterless lit-up fish tanks some modern sculptures and installations are displayed. Wonderful place in the very centre but people are yet to (re)discover this place.
Magala keset Fitzroy'd vaid loetud sammude kaugusel CBD'st. Kuigi algselt olid seda tüüpi korrusmajad mõeldud töölisklassile, elavad siin nüüd peamiselt immigrandid, kelle taust on mitmekesine.
Kuigi olin tuhandeid kilomeetreid LA'st hakkas seda aeda nähes kummitama NWA 'Straight Outta Compton'. Although I was thousands of kilometres away from LA, in my head started to loop 'Straight Outta Compton' by NWA.
Valguskastid on tehniliselt aeganõudvad aga lahedaimad kunstiobjektid, mida nägin. Ja loomulikult on nad iseseisva patareitoite peal, aastaid.
Light boxes are technically demanding but the coolest art form that I saw. And of course they are running independently on batteries, for years.
Üks kohalik heale järjele jõudnud psühholoogia professor võttis nõuks langevarjuhüpete ja sportauto asemel oma vaba aeg/raha kasutada ühiskonna/poliitika kriitiliste sõnumite edastamiseks avalikus ruumis. Vaimustav, mõnel veel on selget mõistust.
A local psychology professor who has managed to gather some wealth decided against spending his time/money on sky diving and sports cars. He started communicating social/political critical messages in public spaces. Wonderful, some still have some common sense.

Vahel taandutakse tänavalt ka ühisstuudiosse.

Fotod on tehtud detsembris 2010. Kuid hiljem möödudes mõndadest paikadest, kus graffiti tegijad pea iga öö midagi uut seinale tekitavad, tekib tunne, et siin linnas ei saa kunagi seinad "valmis" nagu ei saa ka Tallinn.
Photographs taken in December 2010. As I have walked by some of the places where arstist are painting almost every night something new, it feels that the walls in Melbourne will never be ´finished´ like the city of Tallinn.
