Everything is a dildo if you are brave enough, you can’t stick your dick in everything. I don’t make the rules, the judge just tells me what they are when I’m on parole.
Probably one of the monstrosities Lovecraft described in his stories. I read the stories in French and I could only barely imagine what the f he was talking about but maybe the artist read the first words describing an ‘Elder thing’ and decided it would look cool ? That or it’s meant to represent a fleshy palm tree and the hole in the middle is its gaping mouth ready to devour jaywalkers ?
I’m all for art, but these subsidy hunting pieces need to die already or is gonna be the death of public funding for art itself. If it doesn’t convey anything, what is the point of placing it in public?
They can be interesting for a little while but the artists never seem to be thinking about the people who will have to see it every single day, they only think about themselves and the statement they want to make. It’s completely egotistical and creates an environment that feels the opposite of welcoming and inclusive.
In the end every instinct to share something with others is egothistical, since we believe what we find great or interesting must be for everyone else too. Even writing this comment I am convinced that it’s worth enough for you to read.
I’ve seen some stuff like this being set up in pedestrianization efforts, IIRC it’s basically hostile architecture but for assholes who drive too fast in pedestrian dense areas.
i visited this in person, they even sell mini versions of the statue with the cone on the head. kind of weird that the government still considers it “vandalism” at this point
