temp sculpture
This fancy man sits atop his bicycle at the top of Cuba St at the intersection with Karo Dive.

The plaque strongly implies that this is a temporary piece of art so get up and see it.

ps. there is also a blog mentioned on the plaque but I forgot what it was, if someone can find out and leave it in the comments, that'd be grand.

Which reinforces the impression that Mr Jarry won't be around forever.

The work or a Mr Carlos Wedde, look for more of his work along Oriental Parade and above the old mens toilet on the corner of Courtenay and Taranaki...

I was up there last night, and there was just a bike. Please tell me the creators took the rider (or that he got up and walked away) and that vandals didn't make off with him.
