Sal sent in the city of Swan’s addition to a Robert Juniper (?) Sculpture. A bin on a stick. Nicely done. I just love that they thought this would be fine. Where exactly Sal?
Speaking of sculpture, the St George piece at the cathedral, (just opposite lair of She Ra Lisa Scaffidi,) is almost finished. Oddly, I’m not hating it. Could be quite interesting. 
And Angiepangie snapped this recent addition in Scarborough. Meh. Not bad enough to be truly worst worthy. Not good enough to be good.

A bin. On a stick. Right there. Phenomenal.
Well, it’s convenient for those who want a good look at the sculpture, I guess.
Especially so to those of them who have a purgative reflex to ordinary public art but are also civic minded.
I like the St George thing
is it the biggest car aerial in Perth, surely a fox tail would have been more appropriate than a bedsheet?
who’s going to be the first person to kneel on all fours with their legs around it and pretend to be speared through the date?
photos please
I like the foxtail idea, skink, or maybe …
if this story had a photo, then it could have been the best story ever.
also notable for possibly the only time the word ‘umbrage’ has appeared in Teh West:
http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/newshome/7831866/school-sorry-for-hitler-costume/
Though not the first time the word “vibrant” has, presumably. I think we’re starting to see a worrying trend emerging here.
A book-week assembly ?
At least Hitler wrote a book. Mrs. Ljuke had kids at her school dressed as Hannah Montana (ie wearing normal clothes), under the pretext that a few teen romance novels have been overhauled to have the Hannah Montana brand.
Also, let’s not forget that this exists.
it is a close call as to which character is a greater embodiment of evil.
Hannah Montana is Disney, after all

I don’t want to have that on my gravestone, “At least Hitler wrote a book.”
He had good economic policies as well, along with a strong sense of leadership.
so write a book
or invade Poland
I’ve written 20 000 words, but unless you’re Hitler or Graham Greene, you need 80 000 minimum.
…or Cameron Pierce.
…or Ray Martin.
If you’re going to pay homage to a road sign, Give Way strikes me as a bit of a bland choice.
Hump. Now that’s a road sign worthy of art.
Perhaps No Exit would have been a more appropriate choice for Scarborough.
Or Wrong Way go Back.
love the bin on a stick, so perth.
and the new sculpture outside the cathedral, ascalon, is stunning.
Is the bin on a stick art, or not art? I’m going to need Mez’s help here.
If it’s art… should they empty it?
the Juniper is art
the bin is critique
the critique is justified
hear hear

The bin , of course , is a post modern comment on the sculpture.
Yeah!
But it’s too bloody small to put the tin wreck in.
That give way sign is in North Perth (cnr Anzac and Scarborough Beach Rd). Give those poor bogans in Scabs a break will ya??
Oh my mistake. The road to Scabs.
A good thing about Scarborough is that there are plenty of roads out of the place.
Thats a Bob Hope & Bing Crosby film that really should have been made.
And Bob would be after this prime skank, but Bing would always be the one to throw his leg over.
either way it fucking sucks. If you’re going to dissemble the everyday you could at least go to the bother of transposing the information from its familiar setting into a radical new context that challenges our understanding of what it means to obey these symbols day after day and presents us with the vertiginous yawning abyss of semiotic entropy that is the aging process in a town like Perth, rather than just spilling its guts on the nearest lawn. Give way CUNT if you know what I mean.
It really is a bizarre premise for a public art project. Despite TLA’s admonitions, definitely shaping up as a worst for moi.
It’s not public art it’s public Jesus jockey art.
I shit better premises for public art.
ah, the old shit vs art debate
You mean there’s a distinction Mez?
I mean there is precedent

I once worked on the Holden dissembly line. They dissembled as soon as they got out the factory door. Radical, vertiginous , yawning and semiotic were there favourite colors for Holdens at the time.
*ther’e*?
And they all looked better with the green highlights.
The bin on a stick is in Midland near Midland Gate.

I was looking at the Ascalon sculpture the other day and think it will be a beautiful piece when finished – across the road are the Smith milk fed kangaroo sculptures and that awful Paul Ritter “kebab” – have these been worsted yet TLA?
Kebab yes. Roos are a bit too easy.
City of Swan adding a touch of class to Juniper Gardens.
plenty of sculpture represented in Directions 2031 document released today
You were there orbea? Did you recognise the winner of the bottle of plonk in the business card raffle?
I left when the large cake was wheeled out.
The real estate agents and urban developers were slavering.
I feel soiled.
Was he a freedom lover?
I’m not sure what that means. Let’s just say the he was independent, and it was nice to see him have a win, given recent form.
Oh, it wasn’t you.
*independant
Stupid auto correct ruining my gag.

Intresting they look cool, I went last year but they hadnt built the statues yet, Wow that 2nd Image looks cool and weird if I spelt that right.
Should be “Interesting’, “wierd” and “spelled”.
I’m willing to do some one-on-one private tutoring in
English, if you’re interested.
Oh dear. Don’t quit your day job.
Dont be mean!
I don’t think I was being mean to ronggly, TL101. I was just showing that your spelling of weird and spelt were correct.
Although we now have a new insight into the spelling of ronggly’s handle.
no thanks but thanks for the offer.
Erm…
GET LOST AND GO AWAY FOR THE LAST AND FINAL BLOODY TIME BENTO!. HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU BECAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU WON’T!. SO LEAVE THIS SITE IF YOU CAN’T LEARN TO LEAVE ME ALONE.
consider yourself banned bento.
Rock, heavy metal, brass, or merely gentlemen?
TL101 – elaborate troll has finally posted without a deliberate spelling error.
Caps lock has auto-correct built in?
You should consider yourself band to Rolly and I think you and Bento are the same person. Identical Personalitys
New favourite comment.
I like that he’s posted this AFTER reading the stoush between the two of you on an old post (the one with the real estate agents at Mt Rushmore).
Re-reading that as two parts of a single being communing with itself is delightful, if a little disturbing.
I think it speaks volumes about TL101.
Dont be so stupid! and how many favourites do you have?
YOU ARE NOW BANNED FOR ONE WEEK
thankyou for supporting me on my opinion Vegan.
Forms 1 & 3 for Graylands required urgently.
I’m not touching you. I’m not touching you. I’m not touching you.
I’ve always wondered if Indian high castes do that to untouchables. Not touching…
i did read something that suggested that cricket is more popular than other sports in India because you don’t have to touch other players who may be of lower caste
except for the ‘tickle between the legs’
Wha?
The bowler’s Holding, the batsman’s Willey.

Aren’t these all missing something ?
Speaking of missing, Snuff, I deleted your last comment by accident.
Thanks, TLA. That was messing with my head a little, but I haven’t had time to ask whether it got spam binned. I’ll post it again.
