Festive Daisy Razor shows us the new Lego wall on Congress Street, near the Dunkin' Donuts near the Children's Museum, which replaces Nate Swain's original Lego wall at another building, taken down in August when the owners started renovating that building.
President Elect Trump reportedly caused a kerfuffle when he called the much smaller, but still very important, pieces of Lego near the wall in the Fort Point Channel.
Very apropos with recent discussions of the president-elect needing to separate himself from his businesses due to potential conflict of interests. Or maybe I am overinterpreting.
Chinese wall is a business term describing an information barrier within an organization that was erected to prevent exchanges or communication that could lead to conflicts of interest. For example, a Chinese wall may be erected to separate and isolate people who make investments from those who are privy to confidential information that could influence the investment decisions. Firms are generally required by law to safeguard insider information and ensure that improper trading does not occur.
Is this definitely the same spot as the original Lego wall? The previous Lego wall was much further away from this downspout if you look: http://www.universalhub.com/2015/somebody-smashed-.... It was right on the corner of Farnsworth and Congress IIRC.
Also, the bricks here are not as red as in the original picture and the wall inverts here whereas it didn't in the original one. I think this spot is closer to the Dunkins and a different building. Never saw it in person though so someone correct me if I'm mistaken by all means.
Edit: nm, I think I read that in about it being the same spot, but Adam didn't actually say that. My bad.
This is not my art work but I am so happy to have inspired others to make fun things in the street. The whole lego street art is not my original idea. I got the lego idea from Jan Vormann so I don't plan on doing much more of the Lego street art. I want to work on more original street art. I do have lots of commissioned and non-commissioned ie guerilla public art projects in the works.
Thanks again to whoever did this.
You made me smile.

It's not just a flag, why does it have what look like grates?
Prison wall?

That was more my first impression than "flag".

Yeah, different spot, but I didn't explicitly say that. Will fix.
I'm so happy to have inspired others.

A true Lego structure would have the yellow stars made of Lego. Those look like stickers.
