The three pillars of instant gratification
Apr. 3rd, 2010 05:09 pmThere has been great excitement in the City by the Sea of late! Our local council is providing us with public art. Cue hushed oohs.
Predictably, the local paper doesn't like it. I do, though. I wouldn't want it in my garden, but it seems fine for putting at our busiest pedestrian intersection. Then again, I quite like Melbourne's infamous Vault, so I'm probably not the best person to pick these things.
ETA: Actually, reading further into the paper, it's the letter-writers and texters who don't like our new sculpture. The paper's editorial is in favour of it. It even refers to the 'restless natives' and the 'masses' who don't like it, which seems a wee bit condescending coming from a paper that occasionally puts the wrong date on the masthead.
