True Scottish art looks like this!

Shiny, shiny hat…
i visited this in person, they even sell mini versions of the statue with the cone on the head. kind of weird that the government still considers it “vandalism” at this point
Now that is a work of art.
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.
It’s a mile marker. Besides the number in the middle, it doesn’t scream mile marker but I guess it is functional if you know.
I can’t agree more. Abominations like these are a waste of material.
Well, art is often made for the purpose of provoking questions. I’d say “mission accomplished” here.
These pictures posted in this thread are all definitely “art”. You can tell because they clearly provoke emotion, even if that emotion is confusion.
But remember, just because it’s art doesn’t mean it’s good art.

That’s the point most people in arts love to ignore, it seems.
Ireland meanwhile spent €5 million for a giant metal dildo.
And in Montréal, we have
In Perth we have this weird vagina-like sculpture
How on earth is that considered yonic?
And yet you have no problem with that spike being called a dildo?
Everything is a dildo if you are brave enough, you can’t stick your dick in everything. I don’t make the rules, the judge just tells me what they are when I’m on parole.
Very empowering
I’m glad I could “help”:-P.
Probably one of the monstrosities Lovecraft described in his stories. I read the stories in French and I could only barely imagine what the f he was talking about but maybe the artist read the first words describing an ‘Elder thing’ and decided it would look cool ? That or it’s meant to represent a fleshy palm tree and the hole in the middle is its gaping mouth ready to devour jaywalkers ?
I can hear this picture
clearly its a starfish reproducing with a sea slug. silly question
I’ve seen some stuff like this being set up in pedestrianization efforts, IIRC it’s basically hostile architecture but for assholes who drive too fast in pedestrian dense areas.
How does slow them down? Like they get distracted by confusing or thought provoking art?
It’s a big fucking statue strategically placed to be an obstacle for through traffic to have to slow down to be sure they’re getting past safely
Came here expecting a Scottish ‘ITS CRAAAAP’
it’s bouba
