Odd Central Park Barbaro Memorial

[GenuineRisk]

Not defending, 'cause Daniel Edwards isn't really my thing, but I think the Brittany piece is attempting to say something about society's obsession with celebrities (though why he chose one who clearly pushes for the publicity, I don't know, unless he's trying to also say something about celebrities offering up their private lives for public consumption). Likewise the oh-so-classy bronzed Suri Cruise first bowel movement. The Hillary piece I think is trying to comment on how society doesn't regard powerful women as sexual. The Ted Williams thing, I have no idea. Whatever.

Maybe he should do a piece of himself sculpting the Barbaro piece, with a dresser nearby and people leaving money on it. Then he could say something about artists whoring for publicity.

Well, judging from the other pieces that have gone on display in Central Park South, most people will ignore it, and the kids will use it as a jungle gym.
