Agreed, wish more governments and councils would completely flip their shit out.A Distant Star said:170000$ well spent.
I approve!
I think giant floating breast-whales are relevant to all of us.MeChaNiZ3D said:It is a whale. A whale that is supposed to have 'evolved' to be able to fly. It cannot do that, and is furthermore burdened by, and has no relevance to, the dozen breasts arrayed along its sides. Whales have no connection to Canberra. It makes no sense, which is not excused by other art making no sense either. Its interestingness and coolness are very much subjective, to the point where I think it looks the former but most certainly not the latter. The issue is it is ridiculous and has nothing to do with the event it is supposed to be part of.Scarecrow said:Lots of things have breasts. I wish more things, including myself, had breasts. Also it makes more sense than most modern art I've seen recently, plus it acutely looks interesting and cool. So I don't quite see the issue, besides people just not liking the look.MeChaNiZ3D said:Should have called it "A statement on the condition of modern art and government spending".
I cannot believe my own country would pay for this. In a place where no real people live.
It has breasts for fuck's sakes.
So I suppose it all comes down to whether or not you think whales are relevant to Canberra and whether breasts of that kind are relevant to whales.
This. This is my favourite comment in this highly enjoyable thread.martyrdrebel27 said:Not pictured: the flower pot falling nearby thinking "not again..."
No, it's just a way they can waste that 3 mil they have to spend without improving parts of other parks that the city's team of lawyers have decided are too much of a liability for the public to use. The city HAS to spend all the money on something or else when the next budget comes around they won't get as much as last time. The politics of it is insane but that's the way it is.FoolKiller said:Are the blades of grass going to be coated in gold?Stryc9 said:That's alright, that's really not a lot of money when you compare it to the city of Ballard Washington which is about to spend 3 Million dollars on a park that's 29 feet wide and the length of a city block.
