So apparently some people find the sculpture pictured below "
pornographic" and unsuited for a CTA station. My question is what exactly have
they been looking at to make the sculpture seem pornographic? Seriously? I mean, I'm not sure I know what the sculpture is supposed to be, but I'm pretty sure it does not remotely resemble any part of the external human anatomy. I think abstinence only education is having an adverse effect on our society, don't you? What are they teaching kids these days? If you have sex before marriage, your willy will end up looking like THIS!
I think people need to lighten up a little bit and focus on the real phallic symbols in our society - like the Washington Monument.
I think the artist, Josh Garber, made a very good point about the criticisms: "It's funny. What I really think is it speaks more about the viewer and what's in their mind. Because I know when I made it that was never anywhere near my mind-set."
By the way, it's really an abstract representation of a plant, symbolizing growth and renewal. Now
that I can see.
7 people give a shit:
okay, I thought they were musical notes. but a dick? What kinda perv...
Looks like snakes to me; not a trouser snake either.
Hmm... I'm bad at seeing hidden forms in other real forms, but that doesn't look like anything. It remotely resembles a drawing I recently saw of a uterus and cervix, but that's a stretch. :-P
Um, I guess I would have to say that this makes me a tad worried about the potential sex ed teachers my kids are going to have in their schools...someone MIGHT want to have teachers, at least, take a look at one before they go teaching our children...because, really...c'mon.
Look like cartoonish 9-irons to me. What is it about public art that gets people so riled up, I wonder?
People are so weird. Those are so OBVIOUSLY space boots!
I like Sadie's interpretation. So far, it fits the best.
