There's a great post on that wonderful site I follow, La Panse de l'Ours, http://www.lapanse.com/
which is about a truly beautiful enterprise--the Montreuil Wall of Dreams. For those of you who can't read the original French on La Panse, the inhabitants of Montreuil(an area of Paris)were asked by their municipality--What do you dream about? The results--whether poem, photo, a few words, a slogan, whatever--were put in a ''Dream Box''. Then local artists, like Nemo, Mirk, Loco, AnitaLjung and others, were asked to transpose those dreams and wishes into a glorious fresco. The fresco has utterly transformed an ugly concrete wall at the exit of the A3 freeway and the entry into the Branly-Boissiere neighbourhood of Montreuil, into a Mur a Reves, or ''Wall of Dreams'', a thing of beauty, imagination and joy. La Panse has some wonderful pictures of the whole thing. Go and look!
Fantastic! Bravo to everyone concerned! If only municipalities everywhere were as imaginative!
