    Tisn't art, it's just garbage.

    Nice waste of money.

    Sure it's Art. However, it isn't City Beautification Art.

    I'm gonna agree too. Can we get a few more poeple in on this to possibly set a CKA bi-partisanship record?

    Not the ones slugging back a Blue. Martin, however, that guys is pure Lucky. Art is a Harley gas tank with a naked chick on it. :roll:

    I'd call it a statement, rather than 'art'.

    It's all in the eye of the beholder...art to one person is junk to another.

    Luke Coupal does not like it, it appears few others care. I like most of the public art in and about 'toon, this one neither bothers me or causes me to like it. No biggie here. One thing about public art is there is always some dog pissing on it. Doesn't mean anything because he does.

    Calgary better hope Nenshi doesn't see that "art" he'll have the freeway lined with it.

    It isn't offensive;

    According to people who are living in the area it is leaking some pretty unpleasant fluids

    If art is truly in the "eye of the beholder" then this collaboration was an abomination from hell.

    The "dogs piss on it" part is the most appropriate aspect of the whole thing. Someone getting fired for approving it would be the correct course of action but given that it's urban/city council politics, well, whatever.
