Rainbow

2017
Canning Highway, Fremantle, City of Fremantle Public Art Collection
Marcus Canning and the install team from Wanneroo Cranes and True Blue Containers landed Rainbow in a gruelling 12 hour install and online media event with a live audience watching as the 9 sea-containers were craned into place. By sunset that evening Fremantle had a brand new iconic entry statement expressing the culture, energy and industry of the port town.
This was the culmination of two years’ work, from project inception to installation and was a major artwork commissioned during Corine’s tenure as Public Art Coordinator for the City of Fremantle.
Rainbow is now a destination for locals and visitors with uncountable instagram hits, has been interpreted by other artists and featured in magazines and book covers.
