Re: Public Art
I think if you're talking about the 'art' that involves statues and pieces costing thousands, the bananadog for one, I personally think its a complete waste of time and money.
Yes I appreciate that they are meant to give a welcoming air to a town, however that could be done so much better by cleaning up existing buildings and areas. There is also the fact that they get destroyed or vandalised so quickly.
In a country where we cannot provide a satisfactory health service, afford enough housing for the people, and have so many people living in poverty, public art should be the least of our prioties
