Train Platform, Melbourne Central

The painted train platform in Melbourne Central is a clear representation of the institutionalization of street art. Here we see the intersections of the government operated public sphere—transportation infrastructure—with independent street artists.…

Stop 3

The third stop on the tour takes us to an unexpected place for a piece such as this. The back wall of a Zagames restaurant serves as the home to this large piece done by members of KCD. The piece has an overwhelming sense of patriotism to it with the…

Stop 4

This stop on tour bring us to one of the most or the most viewed pieces all throughout Boronia. With a major road to its right it is impossible to miss as you drive into the town. The piece is from 2014, and by two artists already mentioned on the…

Something on the Wall
