all from this highly entertaining tufton st piece
Ughh, I dunno...a lot of it looks shit to me. Always hated what they did to St Pancras Station full stop, let alone that statue. Didn't someone vandalise the Gorbals boys a while ago? There should at least be some local consultation before they commission this stuff.
There was a hoo-ha about that statue of Mary Wollstonecraft in Newington Green, where she looks like an Action Man being blasted skyward by a burst sewer pipe. Nobody could even do a decent job of recreating one of the most interesting ones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_Dog_affair

that report is from 2012 and castigates public art basically for bureaucracy and isolation from "gallery art", it's very opinionated about the monuments and i enjoyed searching up the images
so i wondered what's up since 2012, an also what @owen has to say on the topic
anyone got this?

i was thinking they must be able to spot the sky mirrored in bodies of earthbound water as they flap about in their leisurely way

there was a massive digital clock on the east river in 2018ish which gave you no clue as to what it was counting down. just a massive clock which was counting down from idk 400 days. it had gone after the pandemic.
the 9/11 memorial is one of the bits of art that i've got the most out of over the years. it hits hard even surrounded by happy tourists. the way that the water washes down an unseen hole, the relentlessness of it, it really does something to me, expresses the utter pointlessness of the attack. it's a serious and heavy thing.
i've always liked this one outside the UN. not exactly subtle and a bit cheesy, but that suits the UN.
