A couple of ladies lounge outside Caf\u00e9 Cleopatra on a Sunday afternoon beside a fresh mural by Zilon et Seaz’s that homage to Cleo’s.<\/em><\/p>\n

Somebody is eager to see this block reduced to rubble.<\/p>\n

That’s what crossed my mind when I heard the announcement for an event called “bombe sur la Main” <\/em>which took place last Friday night on a block of the Lower Main that has been slated for demolition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

36 graffiti artists<\/a> were invited to decorate the abandoned facades of properties recently purchased by Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 de D\u00e9veloppement Angus<\/em>. Ok, I know “bombing” is supposed to be a cool graffiti slang word – in French bombe<\/em> refers to the cans of spray paint used by graffiti artists, and in English “bombing” is the act of covering a neighbourhood with signature graffiti.<\/p>\n

The “bombing” event was organized by the Corporation de d\u00e9veloppement urbain du Faubourg Saint-Laurent<\/em> and the Partenariat du Quartier des spectacles<\/em>, in order to temporarily spruce up the centennial buildings while the developer scrambles to figure out a plan B<\/a> for the properties.<\/p>\n

I don’t mean to knock an initiative to create visibility for some of our most talented local mural artists. But I can’t shake the feeling that the organizers would rather see this block hit by the wrecking ball…<\/p>\n
