AOTW’s inaugural sculpture, created by Steve Dubov, is a humorous juxtaposition of nature and industrial objects at the corner of Barton Skyway and South Lamar Boulevard. Barton Barriers is a temporary installation over 100 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 10 feet high, composed of 50 Yodock water-filled road barriers. The brightly colored plastic forms are arranged (off road!) in a jumbled pattern that defies their traditional use and encourages viewers to have a fresh look, and a laugh, at a commonplace item that often spells frustration.

The installation was a great success. A special thanks to all of our volunteers for their hard work, enthusiasm, and energy. We couldn’t have done it without you!

This project has been fully approved by the City of Austin’s art commission, the Art in Public Places committee and the Barton Hills Neighborhood Association.
