Following up on his 2007 vegetation wall, this year French artist Jean-Paul Ganem uses a new technique to colour and add green to the Darling Foundry’s walls and the street in front. He presents an installation where overgrown vegetation spreads to the public domain, creating a true island of freshness within an urban setting. In partnership with Earth Day – Alcoa, this initiative, led by the Darling Foundry, ultimately aims to turn this section of Ottawa Street into a permanent public square.
