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.
I can’t agree more. Abominations like these are a waste of material.
Looks like a…erm…how do I put it…a chocolate starfish that’s had a breach.
You better keep on rolling baby, you know what time it is
It reminds me of the art piece statue in Beetlejuice.
That’s it, thanks!
Well, art is often made for the purpose of provoking questions. I’d say “mission accomplished” here.
(the mission was someone’s side piece getting paid)
True Scottish art looks like this!

The Scottish sculptor Iain McColl designed the second post, The Cockerel.
The influences behind this one are Miro’s The Fork and Branusci’s The Cock.
Here’s The Cock:
The sculptor reportedly said:
“Le Coq c’est moi”
“The Cock is me”
Also related:
Coq means rooster in French and is not used as an insult or a euphemism for the penis at all.
But your mileage may vary.
