Ok, the lawn pizza vomit based colour scheme has gone. Fine. But just how could you actually do anything good with this abortion? If you can’t go the bulldozer option, then what brilliant white? Is there any other way to go? I can’t see an upside.

As if it’s a creativity vortex, sucking any decent ideas right into it when anyone gets close.

the only way to do this sculpture justice is with some randomly chosen phrases from an art criticism article:
Clearly, the art’s precariousness signals the indispensable conditions of making and apprehending the perceptual object. Its agential, indexical, epistemological, historical, and causal relations to the perceptual object of the complex mark the spatial and other apprehensible properties of the perceptual object, whose visibly reflexive form mirrors the reflexive form of its comprehension.
Meaning, i think, tilt-up concrete art is perfect for teh stre’s aesthetic (indeed, for Perth as a hole (sic)).

I’ve said it before, but yet another appallingly literal, typically bureaucratic interpretation of the concept of “placemaking,” e.g. erect the name of the place in big fuckin’ letters. Mind you, once we come to having to “make” “places,” as local councils believe, we’re kinda fucked anyway.
LikeLike
The big letters are like large print books; in a word, remedial. That’s right, the artist (or shopfitting firm in this case) thinks you’re blind, or stoopid, or something. But no wonder: Having their work bought by cretinous bureaucrats for tens of thousands of dollars of other people’s money induces delusions in artists of their own talent and worth, alongside the assumption of the denseness of the consumers and target audience of their works.

On reflection, I can’t see how I’ve taken anything too far here. Was it the “remedial” bit? Most public art suggests that bureaucrats and artists alike are either stupid or assume we are. The evidence is plain to see, so what’s wrong with saying that?

The ‘Disse was yarn-bombed over the weekend – I didn’t get pictures because it was night-time and I was drunk and didn’t realise it was a co-ordinated attack until I saw photos of Facebook on Sunday.
all the bike racks and the Bunnie with the Boobies were wrapped. Apparently it was part of International Yarn-Bombing Day, or to commemorate D-Day. One or the other.
It was for these freedoms that men died on the beaches. Dresden was carpet-bombed so that Highgate can be crochet-bombed.
