18-Mar-10 - 0127R : Brisbane, Australia - 'Music Box'
This is a view of the Southern face of the TSB artwork titled 'Music Box' painted in 2009 by artist Eufalia Cristina Paz de Almeida. Brisbane City Council's Artforce website quotes the artist Eufalia Cristina Paz de Almeida as stating 'the concept of the Music Box is to relate music to Brisbane’s CBD landscape. As the traffic box is located at the corner of Ann Street and Gotha Street, Fortitude Valley, I intend to explore the musical/nightlife aspect of this iconic suburb in contrast with the CBD landscape and its buildings, incorporating musical instrument shapes and forms within the project, such as piano, guitar and drums. The intention is to leave an open interpretation approach for the viewer when he/she looks at the traffic box, either coming from the Valley towards the CBD, with the figure suggesting the city landscape or the keyboard of a piano, or coming from the CBD towards the Valley, seeing the musical side of it, with the guitars and drums facing who walks that direction. The sides of the Music Box complement the figure, giving it the full idea of a whole cityscape.'
This TSB (Number B0060) lies on the Eastern side of Ann St just South of the intersection between Gotha St and Ann St.
