The Boonji Spaceman is a 7-metre statue that’s been unveiled in Perth, a move inspired by astronaut John Glenn dubbing Perth the “city of lights” in 1962 while orbiting the Earth. Some are exited to see the statue by US artist Brendan Murphy, while others are unhappy it has replaced a beloved art piece colloquially known as the kebab. 📝 Kenith Png 🎞️ Jack Stevenson 🎥 Julian Robins 🎬 Veronica Buck #CityofLight #ABCNews #Art #JohnGlenn #BrendanMurphy | ABC Perth
