Real estate mogul Bob Rennie commissioned artist Martin Creed to install his artwork as part of a restoration project. The Wing Sang building is the oldest building in Chinatown. The phrase “Everything is going to be alright” is a reference to the upcoming 2010 Olympic games and a hopeful message to the Downtown Eastside in general.
Easy for Bob Rennie to say. This is a weird case of being both a really good work and a piece of high ideological bastardry. Good paper topic!
Same installment by Martin Creed was in Detroit for a good while on the front of MOCAD, picture here.
Detroit sez, “you saw it here first, folks”
