Is there any explanation as to how the art is rising? Is it made of dough?

The socks , as a “this stinks” protest on the Guildford hotel , may ( with emphasis on the may) have achieved the protesters’ aim.

Bremick tendered on the work for $100k but now requesting more funds…..
You will enjoy this from the artist;
“The interlinking typography, held together when supported by the stage but slowly falling into collapse and disarray when not, is a metaphor in itself for the many varied ways in which a strong community supports each of its members…..
Abstract colour and form within the platform’s tessellated surface will create the appearance of a Persian rug, the nature of which will provide a sense of familiarity……
Steering away from primary colours and those often used by multinational fast food companies, the initial colour of the oversized lettering will be a contemporary champagne hue chosen for its bold but inoffensive hue reminiscent of the colours found in many of our native flora, modern graffiti art, traffic lights etc.
Of course, the green of the rug, inspired by nature’s carpet, grass and low native groundcovers, will also therefore be compatible with the lettering and when set within the concrete and steel edge detail, this balance of industrial and nature-inspired colours will sit beautifully.”

Yes, but applying the “are we better off for it being there” test, I really don’t know. Whereas the rabbit boozies/wille thing while not to my taste does seem to be an improvement on the corner, vajazzled as it already is with the gay knick knack shop. But this? Can it be possible that it has worsened this section of the street? Would a Cocos hedge have been a better choice?

I just assumed these colours were chosen for their relative inability to show up vomit, piss and rust stains as well as the inevitable graffiti sand-blasting scuff marks.

“The interlinking typography, held together when supported by the stage but slowly falling into collapse and disarray when abandoned by the side of the road, is a metaphor in itself for the many varied ways in which a strong community supports each of its members, or not.
Abstract colour and form within the platform’s tessellated surface will create the appearance of a Persian rug, the nature of which will provide a sense of familiarity to those of us whose Persian rugs are made out of cement and leaned up against the wall.
Steering away from primary colours and those often used by multinational fast food companies and the human body, the initial colour of the oversized lettering, before graffitit artists add their own vibrant palette, will be a contemporary champagne hue chosen for its bold but inoffensive hue reminiscent of the colours found in oh, hell, I don’t know, champagne, I guess.

The culture of post-capitalist hegemony is strictly congruent with the construction of the image. The construction of praxis is virtually coextensive with the reification of the image. The systemization of normative value(s) recapitulates the reification of the gendered body. The eroticization of the gaze is virtually coextensive with the engendering of the gendered body.
