A new, Instagram-ready art installation could come to Mud Island soon.
Last month, the city of Memphis parks department asked the Downtown Memphis Commission for permission to build the temporary installation. The project would bring a huge black-and-yellow, billboard-like art installation that reads: “We have no time for things with no soul.”
The installation would be 46 feet high and 40 feet wide. Before the billboard would be a trail of 54 flags and three short platforms for seating. The sign would face east, easily visible from Riverside Drive. It would be erected close to the new “Memphis” sign recently placed on Mud Island.
The installation would be erected before the Memorial Day opening of Mud Island and would remain until the end of November, according to the city’s application.
Here’s a look at some images from the application:
