Plenty of the tax-payers of the UK think it's a load of old rhubarb too but we are told that art is meant to make you stop and think and provoke discussion so the very fact that it has done so is proving that it is indeed art. Personally I think it's 'Emperor's New Clothes' syndrome. I have to admit that I can see what she's getting at with her inspiration but I'm still not convinced that it's art.

Despite what they say about there being people on hand to warn visitors about the dangers of falling into the crack or tripping over it (as it widens and narrows) I can foresee a lot of broken bones and some legal claims in the not too distant future. If that was in an out door pavement it would have to be cordoned off and people wouldn't be allowed anywhere near it for health and safety reasons. I'm amazed that they've got away with it.
