We shall see whether art can have a trickle-down effect: Glasstire reports that Patrick Renner will be taking a few loads of reclaimed wood and building this 185-foot “Funnel Tunnel” among the trees on the esplanade near Inversion and the Art League Houston at 1953 Montrose; the Houston-based sculptor will be piecing it together starting February 1.

Is that a vuvuzela?
More like a 185′ vuvuzela!!
Air compressor? Check.
Air horn? Check.
185 foot vuvuzela? Check.
This is going to be AWESOME
What’s that gonna smell like after it’s had stagnant rain in it for a month? I hope it has holes in the bottom or the mosquitoes will be plentiful.
In the spirit of the area it should be designated the rusty trombone.
@Sondra, We don’t want any more Montrose mosquitoes flying around, do we?
It is the most recent immanation of the old Montrose black hole (http://www.davidairey.com/focus-on-art-dan-havel-dean-ruck/). Enigmatic.
Can’t wait to see this. Patrick does great work! Is it meant to be permanent, or will it only be up for a few months/years?
Love his work, perhaps I should schedule a Houston visit.
Ooh… the toddlers will love this. But will I be able to crawl in after them?
Nice! Can’t waite to see it.
Montrose!
A place to get blown.
