Building Tales
Public Art is designed to draw attention and start conversations … but sometimes the artists behind these projects may go a little too far with this idea. Here are ten of the most ridiculous, wasteful and in some cases borderline offensive public art installations in the world. Watch
They forgot the corn in the turd
This video should treat this as a friendly warning not to let the artist mention come to your town or neighborhood and do their public art for your community.
ONLY voluntarily-paid-for art should exist ANYWHERE. Pretty simple solution to all of this garbage.
But still better than 99.9% of graffiti “art.”
My favorite Art remains Ralph’s neighbor Norton the sewer guy.
It’s an absolute unmitigated scandal and disgrace. Most all of it is just the left pissing away taxpayers money and then showing us contempt by shoving this absolute shit in our face and saying that we aren’t sophisticated enough to appreciate it.
Zonga – They forgot the corn in the turd
That’s called a Payday bar by the way…
All this crap is, is refrigerator art without the refrigerator. Leftist hacks have hijacked public art to make ‘commentary’. Theu wind up making expensive ugly, childish garbage in our faces.
1 of the 45 goals of communism as entered into the 1963 congressional record. “Make art ugly and repulsive”.
Money laundering anyone??
When you take a front-end loader full of scrap, dump it into a vat of Epoxy, call it art and get paid Big Bux for it, I’m not sure how that really differs from what Jackass Joe’s pimped-out kid did!
Not Present:
Yoko Ono’s Screaming Performance Art.
Technically, it permanently exists on the net, FFS.
Awesome, Canada made the list TWICE with a population a Tenth the size of the USA!
We are Pissing Money Away with the Big Boys!
Talentless, un-artistic maggots who happen to be politically connected produce this shit (see Hunter Biden, for instance).

izlamo delenda est …
I’ve always disliked the Le Grande Vitesse that is in GR,MI.
Followed closely by the architecture of the building called “The Castle”, also in GR.
It looks more like a Soviet prison, than a castle.
Any statue of that scumbag George Floyd is a goddamn disgrace to the concept of public art.
‘Public art’ is a scam from edge to edge. The bean in Chicago was the first ‘public art’ installation in America. Now there is garbage ‘public art’ everywhere one looks. We pay for it but we get no say in what it is beyond electing the dopes that stroke themselves by selecting it. Picasso said every great artist must have a business plan, only second rate artists can afford not to. I’m guessing the ‘artists’ that produce the ‘public art’ dreck we see all around definitely do not need business plans.
Huh.
They put an “L” in “Pubic”.
Weird.

What did John Lennon see in oko.
He seem to take her every where he went. Had to be drugs?
Not even auto-tune could keep up with her voice.
“Make art ugly and repulsive”. Mission accomplished.
@AJ — Sex. Had to be. I figure Lennon had kinks Yoko at least tolerated and accommodated if not fully shared.
“Hit me, beat me!” said the masochist.
“No!” said the sadist.
100% pure garbage.
Modern art has been manifestations of psychotic delusional episodes of the insane and scammers calling themselves “artists” for a very long time. Not a fan. A result of the moral decay plaguing the world.
The elite progressive cabal made modern art a feature of pop culture. For example, Andy Warhol’s Campbell Soup can print. Social engineering through art.
There is a lot of ridiculous “public art” in Portland, OR.
A lot of metro (light rail) stops have something city officials call art. To me, none of it was.
Isn’t ugly art one of the Communist/Marxist methods of destroying western civilization?
That doesn’t relieve the tasteless idiots, that approve of these things, from derision. Never have been able to see why anyone cared for ugly art. Except to be a follower and agree the emperor’s new clothes sure do look good.
Dadof4,
You are correct:
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
