well, at least its not a pile of rusted scrap iron welded together in an undecipherable manner and called art…
Really, $846K? 10 years from now, tops, people will pass by this and if they notice it at all they will wonder what we were thinking about…
How much grant money could I get if I took a sign from one of the Denny’s that will be closing and planted it near a Cadillac with big fins planted nose first up to the firewall? Maybe a Corvair on blocks with a cut-out of Ralph Nader in the driver’s seat to finish off the piece…
Nothing against the selected artist but it is disappointing that an Indiana based artist was not selected.
Back in the day, like with the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, we held international competitions to find artists who could truly honor our city with their work. Just saying…
That shouldn’t even be a consideration.
Because now Indianapolis government has privatized this sort of work to folks from Carmel…can’t trust this to an Indy-based firm. Someone from Indy might want a sculpture by an Indiana resident, one that says something about the history of the city, or the hopes for the future.
I admit I’m not an artist, or for that matter one who appreciates modern art and/or sculpture. But the significance and attraction of this piece escapes me. It doesn’t look to me like a river, or drops of water. I’m not sure what it looks like. maybe a splash from some large rock being dropped into molten metal. Brings back memories of the “L” sculptures on the common area between Cavanaugh, the Library, and School of Business put up back in the 80’s at IUPUI. Nice benches, but using them as such was forbidden.
Your description of what the sculpture looks like to you was hilarious but I can definitely see your prospective on it. At the end of the day, The GM Stamping Plant is an area that’s trying to attract outside investments nationally and internationally. I think the idea was for a modern progressive look to attract a certain type of client. The old hickory or field house theme that Indiana usual go for doesn’t necessarily work well to attract major outside investors and talent.
