The "good start" is that an individual or small group were able to go from concept to display in a shorter period of time with these, and for relatively low cost. Hopefully there's interest and support for redoing one or more of them in permanent materials. I can definitely see this as a more promising start than spending years in committees fighting over the details and funding for a conventional statue that might never see the light of day.
Anyway, this is just a preview— the full exhibition includes 122 such statues. So it's also a good start in that regard. :)
- monadic2 6y agoSince when has art been judged on time to creation or volume or cost? This seems to be solving a problem sculpting doesn't have to begin with. I agree that this could be a boon to creation but I hardly see these samples as decent examples....
- mikepurvis 6y agoThe point is the art that never has a chance to be judged because it never gets created on account of these barriers.
- monadic2 6y agoI consider that an emphatic benefit looking at these statues. Why couldn't they have hired a sculptor?
