Laneways by George

Sydney doesn't understand use of laneways. I am beginning to think the town doesn't understand public art either. Put the two together and we have a laugh.
The City Council is running a project called Laneways by George, as part of the annual Art and About event. I don't know if what I saw was the art, or rubbish left by people for the Garbage collection on Monday.
The works had little to do with the descriptions given in submissions to the Councils, and printed in the guide.
See for yourself. above is the image and description for one lane.
The brochure says:
" The Meeting Place is a playful installation which encourages participation and interaction whilst heightening the experience of moving through the urban space. Compressing the pedestrian path and framing a sliver of sky accentuates the unique city space. Strangers walking through the lane must negotiate with each other to gain passage through th and meet in the process."
Here's what I found, following the organiser's map.
