Crappy sculpture
May. 8th, 2008 09:49 amDear God, not another fucking house-cast, Rachel, please. And on a heap of old rubbish, too.
Mark Wallinger's huge horse is like something you might find outside a rough bar in the Australian outback. And why the heck is it wearing a bridle?
Daniel Buren's laser beam will be a hazard to aircraft and will only be visible on damp days anyway. He's been watching too many crappy movies (laser beams are always visible in movies). Stupid and boring.
Richard Deacon's twisted heap is interesting, and would doubtless provide fun for night-climbers.
Christopher Le Brun's wing thing is the best: quite pleasing, symbology which is obvious enough for public art without being too much in-your-face. I think it's pitched at the right level for public art. The only one which is comparable to the Angel of the North.
Minus several million points to the project for building a Flash-only website which prevents deep-linking. Tossers. This is 2008, not 1997.
