Pink sculpture not popular
From
PIX 11:
On Wednesday night, it was a packed town hall meeting at MOMA PS1 in Long Island City, Queens. The town hall addressed many topics including affordable housing for artists, and also a sculpture slated to go up on Jackson Avenue.
One speaker said, “I think it’s an amazingly interesting piece of art, I think the location should have been discussed a little more in depth before the decision was made.”
According to a spokesperson for city’s Department of Cultural Affairs, the sculpture is slated to go up on Jackson Avenue near 43rd Avenue in Long Island City, Queens, a public art project with a price tag of $515,000 funded by city capital dollars. The sculpture is called “The Sunbather.”

The city is now prepping a 'master plan' of the city's art scene (that will go over big) I wonder who will run it, Albert Speer?
The highlight of the evening is when an artist that is running from developer after developer after developer states that 3/4 of certain art disciplines have left NY, only elicited an "umm" and "ahhh" in response from the 2 luminaries on stage until one of them said "the kids are still coming here."
However, when one of our illustrious hosts said that they discovered an "amazing" Sri Lankan dance group on Staten Island did they look comfortable and on familiar ground.
To best honest, those two looked completely out of their element.
One can only imagine what the other boroughs must be thinking when 2 Queens bumpkins show up spouting DeBraziology.
I can't remember that stupid doctor's name, but I when I first saw this I thought it was a tribute statue to him. A better title would be Hipster Ebola Strain.
So now it's here are there any vacant affordable 3,000 a month apartments?
Doubt that will last a year in the middle of a busy street.
A flying hubcap, a snow plow, a tag, its toast.

It seems that the Democratic Party wants to hijack the art scene in NYC for their propaganda purposes.
How many of those kids coming to NYC to be part of its art scene will continue here if they know that their stage will be in a Queens Library and their job will be teaching zumba to pre-k in East NY.
Did the Steinway Mansion and Steinway Art District come up?
Wasted tax dollars on nonsense.
Politicians and 'community organizers' love spending other people's money.
Remember not too long ago when this anonymous protestor put up a similarly hideous piece of art for a mere $350?
This was a bullshit side issue at the meeting.
The real news was that the city arts leadership[ under DeBlaz has no answers and will do nothing as the arts community gets pushed out of NYC by their political campaign donors in real estate.
Such arts that is left will serve the needs of the party with its immigrant agenda. Cultural events will boil down to photo ops/fund raisers targeting selected ethnic/racial minorities.
Public money support will carry the price tag: suppress art for the needs of the state. Private money will come from sugar daddy developers who will make you their amenity to pull in tenants - sort of like adding parking spaces or a gym to a building..
NYC as a world capital to culture will be become Disney and McDonalds.
This is Jimmy's District...out it in front of Jimmy's House....hahahahahahaha
This sculpture is on my LIC walking tour route, but I plan on keeping silent when walking past it in memory of the fact that the public had no say in this matter.
They should have asked a 3rd grader to create something instead of this piece of crap!
A literal case of one cock sucking the other.
I find the piece insultingly non-inclusive. Anyone can see it's a white guy. Blaaahr!
It looks like something that was squeezed out of a toothpaste tube.
Now if Picasso had done it, it would be worth millions. LOLA! That shows you how art buyers can be easily manipulated. Shit is shit, no matter who created it. My colonic creations have far better form.
LOL! Some are calling it Gumby's mamma.
How much does the "artist" make for displaying this "work"?
