  Tucker is laughing, &quot;People are paying me good money to install poop sculptures &quot;

  The money spent on &quot;The Pipe&quot; should have been spent repairing the crumbling sidewalk.

  These artists all have one valuable skill in common, the ability to extract vast amounts of money from institutions in exchange for utter rubbish that requires negligible ability.

  Seeing a lot of these pieces reminds me of that Flintstones line: &quot;I don&apos;t know what he got for making that but he should have gotten life.&quot;

  I have an art degree. The amount of daisy-chaining fart-sniffing that goes on in the art circle is nauseating. I once had to view an installment that took place in a giant, empty warehouse. In the middle of the room was a standard white chest freezer (the kind you&apos;d find in grandpa&apos;s garage) with a Rubbermaid cooler sitting on top. THAT WAS THE ART PIECE! We were expected to fuss over it like it contained the holy grail.

  Some years ago we had a local &quot;artist&quot; here I live installing &quot;art&quot; in our railwaystation, to get to the trains you had to go trough a tunnel under ground and down there he had put boxes on the wall, with a loudspeaker and some electronic detecting movements, &nbsp;making the loudspeaker go &quot;pling plong and plong pling&quot; etc, suddenly making noices that scared the shit out of me every time I was stressing to reach my train, after some time it went silent and one day I visited the railway station I asked someone there why the art didn&apos;t scare me anymore, &nbsp;&quot;we took out the CD&quot; they told me, guess others had been scared, &nbsp;just like me

  The best thing is all the nicknames given to these monstrosities.

  Imagine if high school art students could&apos;ve entered art contests, &nbsp;and won $10,000 scholarships and the opportunity to design and build public sculptures with $10,000 budgets. How many hundreds of beautiful pieces could have been displayed in lieu of these products of loos?

  As an artist, I think whatever style you want, you should go for even if it’s considered ugly by everyone else. It’s about self expression after all….. <br><br> &nbsp;But if it’s in a public setting? It should probably be pleasing to the masses…. Since they live near it and see it every single day. Appalled at the pink statue that looks like it was made by a giant 5 year old who got into the putty. The pink would have been fine if the statue wasn’t so horrendously built.

  Seems some of these sculptors &nbsp;have to work through some phallic obsession issues....

  &quot;It&apos;s ugly, but is it art?&quot; Theodore Roosevelt after seeing the 1912 Armory Show.
