Umm, not exactly a great example of public art, not even a good one. Better than Bowfort Towers, I'll give it that.

Not a great example! Everyone in Calgary thinks public art has to involve a horse and a cowboy :hell:

Even the leftwing libtards don't consider this art.

But by the same token the art piece could be a huge piece of dog crap made of plastic and people would talk about it and look at it every time they drive by.

The public art in the first pic is more appealing to me. The art in the second pic is cliche, I mean a statue of a guy on a horse sitting atop a cement block. The oldest cliche of art there is.

FFS it’s all art. What is it with people and this fetish for having heart that modern and colorful, why can’t something be a statue sitting on top of concrete cannot still be considered art???

At the same time, I think backhanded knocks on people ("don't wanna interrupt this non construction talk") are not always helpful, and perhaps a higher level of civility / maturity is appropriate. |

The faulty truss is something that had to be done whether we liked it or not, same thing goes for replacing old sewage pipes and re-paving roads. Those are 'have to haves', not 'nice to haves', and if you're going to spend money on 'nice to haves' at least try to do a better job of it. |
No, Socguy was right, You missed the point. The point being that the city spends billions on useful but mundane items such as road repair and pipes, etc... yet, a couple hundred thousand for art becomes a huge deal. Art is just as useful as roads and pipes, but in a different way and it comes at a minute fraction of the cost.
