In the tradition of billionaires creating iron turds in their honour, Bento shows off Andrew Forrest’s version in the bleak, depressing environs of the awful and shitty ex Merlin Hotel, now Hyatt precinct. It has it all, bricks, glass urinal bricks, Andrew Forrest. The plaque says its nickname is the Mighty Greg, but I assume staff call it “Grunty the Eye Waterer”.

Bland boring Terrace Road. The ‘front door’ of the city overlooking a river in the far distance with nothing but barren wastelands of nothingness and sand and couch grass which connect it to the river. Would any other city in the world show its waterway such contempt? And just as the Commission homes have their dead brown grass out the front, so does the city of Perth have this massive wasted acreage for its very own. The only difference being that the ‘Houso’s’ put these dead verges to use with all manner of cars in all manner of condition and with wheels on or off and with bonnets up or down. Come on Perth. Where’s your junk to match the ‘Houso’s’? At least you could display that burned out, rusted Commodore with the blackboys growing out of it, here. The one that was placed out the front of the city railway station not so long ago. All Class. Yeah Right.

And quite by coincidence too my suggestion is the transportation and erection at strelley, in the most triumphalist and vulgar pose possible, of a wheatbin to symbolise the conquest and usurpation of the swan river colony and its wealth, and the impoverishment of said colonists and offspring. I justify this sort of public art as manifest destiny.

Hey buddy, we do 3 kinds of public art:
(1) poorly proportioned bronzes of dubious characters from history.
(2) plonked shapes
(3) lumps of rock
I’ll thank you to keep that in mind, please.
