Power Stations in Kuwait
I love public art. My little village in the US holds an annual Arts Festival, and part of the proceeds from this highly successful festival goes to fund public art. You can see some examples here: Public Art – October
Kuwait also has public art. I believe these squatty, square, non-descript buildings are power relay stations – and look what they have become! Once you start seeing them, you see them everywhere, and every one is different.
I love it that they are whimsical, and that some artist gets paid to design and paint all these stations! They reflect a respect and reminder for Kuwaiti traditions.

Here There and Everywhere 
that is what all co-op in Kuwait should be doing , these building are ugly unpainted , when its painted nicely most people are deterred from writing on it
It’s a great idea. I think there should be all over
ooh the irony,… traditional art on the single most important thing that enables everything modern to function.
they do look much better than being blank.
I think the gov’mint should start funding graffiti artists & bring some foreign talent in. After all, thats how it works here. 😛
Mini R, that is a TERRIBLE idea! Support LOCAL arts!
Great photos of public art. I will keep an eye out for these buildings in Kuwait. Spent some time looking at your blog site, very good.
Welcome, Satori. I’ve been watching your very thoughtful blog, too. Yeh, keep your eyes open, and you will see some real treasures. It always makes me smile when I see these buildings.
I do think public arts are different from person to person, from time to time and from a city to another! They are all beautiful reflecting feelings, of past, love, originality, and culture! I just appreciate them all with all of their forms! 😀
