Public Art in Kabul Afghanistan

While I was bartending at the Mustafa Hotel in Kabul, Afghanistan, I met Luis Rafael Berrios-Negron, an artist who came over to do some public art with the Kabul University art dept.

The spot selected was on top of hill with a pool the Russians built. We covered a sign with green fabric. Photos by Massoud Hosseini, music by Ahmad Zahir, "To ba yak dashte por az gol."

Hi Sculptor1965, It sounds like you hqve been there and perhaps for you was an easier enviroment. But for me, Kabul, although was indeed an inspiring place, it was also very difficult to get things accomplished for what I would think are obvious reasons. I would love to see any work of this kind you have made so I perhaps can learn from your practice(s).

All the great and interesting things in Kabul to draw inspiration from and they do a giant cloth? I guess if they do something that casts a shadow that has no use-lights out for you.
