I think the controversy about Denver's new public art is interesting, from both equine and artistic perspectives. I can see why some people find the work a bit menacing.
well, it's engaging the public if nothing else, right?? but this is from the same city that gave us that Big Blue Bear at their convention center. personally, i think the bear is Terrible Art (i can still hear todd - you remember - the sculpture professor at lawrence? - telling us "if you can't make it good, make it big, and if you REALLY can't make it good, make it big and red" but i think blue fits well into that same sentiment.) but at least they invest in public art, even if a lot of it is horrendous to some of us.
