Then it shouldn’t be a sculpture. It should have been an abstract painting. Sculptures are meant to be viewed from multiple angles. Failed is an understatement.
I didn’t say I liked it, or even understand it, I’m just saying that no one actually posted a pic of any angle other than the dick pic, which is deceptive. The concept is cool, but the missing heads are a little creepy, now that I’ve got Jeffrey Dahmer and Podesta embedded in my brain now 🤦♀️
I find it tasteless and literally a fabrication piece, like something American Chopper would make for a custom bike using computer aided design and laser cutters.
Edit:- You are the only one who has showed this angle so an updoot from me.
Brutalism is a communist technique to get people to hate life. Usually it pertains to architecture but we can see them employing the same strategy in what they're willing to call "art." Same goes for music, movies, TV, etc. We're supposed to be brought into contact with the best of humanity via the arts ...
What are you saying with this article? That it’s actually an evil piece of art? Yikes…it actually could be, with all the mind bending stuff happening, but the pics we’ve all been making fun of were certainly meant to deceive…
I see what you're saying and understand, but maybe....maybe the doctored pics removed a 'veil' that was actually intended, as the subconscious suggests.
See Big Mike meme just posted with this shared theme.
Why did it remind me of the Podesta 'Dahmer' statue?
(Have we established the artist, btw?)
Certain shared esthetic 'elements' including missing heads made the suggestion.
The $10 million that it cost to make this thing, they could’ve actually put that money into underprivileged black neighborhoods. But we wouldn’t want to do that… Because this whole $10 million situation is another book deal, it’s just a way to funnel money to whoever they want to. Art, and book deals, or intrinsically an avenue for money laundering.
Slapped in the faces of the poor and broke who have to see it everyday.
How much of the 10 mil went to the statue, seeing it has no textured detail, horrible coloring, no faces.
It’s like how they are trying to destroy our history of beautiful architecture and art by erecting these massive modernist cube sky scrapers all over NYC destroying the skyline and our history in one fell swoop.
I wouldn’t argue it’s a deceptive angle. They look like giant headless slugs from numerous angles, and all these arguments are being made in conjunction.
The fact that it looks phallic from different angles is the proverbial icing on the cake.
And let’s be real… you think making this MLK $10MIL statue a giant phallic F U to the working men and woman who just want to get along and survive
WASN’T intentional? Yeah not buying it. Just another phallic idol used to mock.
I agree with you, given additional context, this 3D hug is quite a skillful artwork.
This sculpture can actually be described as anamorphic art - art that has been produced with a distorted perspective or distorted projection, which requires the viewer to stand in a specific location to reconstitute the image of the artwork or to use a specific device to reconstitute the image.
It seems like since the renaissance (from the 1400's to the 1500's) the 'illuminati' may have used anamorphic art to diguise hidden messages in plain sight. Also featured in the Leonardo video is an anamorphic representation of Ignatius Loyola the founder of the Jesuits (Society of Jesus) by artist Andrea Pozzo. (See from 8:10.)
If an enormous sculpture only works when seen from one particular angle -
or it has to be explained to virtually everyone who sees it -
it has failed as a piece of art.
Then it shouldn’t be a sculpture. It should have been an abstract painting. Sculptures are meant to be viewed from multiple angles. Failed is an understatement.
Ok, I’ll buy that.

KEK.. and the concept of having disembodied limbs only instead of the full head, torso etc is ridiculous.
Imagine what the statue of the Raising of the Flag at IwoJima would look like if it was rendered with the same conceptual brain-fartery.
Say more. I’m uninformed on this one, I’m afraid.
See my comment.

It's all good man.
It's all a matter of taste anyway.
I find it tasteless and literally a fabrication piece, like something American Chopper would make for a custom bike using computer aided design and laser cutters.

From one of the angles I saw, it looks like earthworms slithering over each other.
Really, really bad art.
I saw it from the reverse side and dubbed it "the Madonna of the Barracuda."
(heh) Good one.
It literally only looks good from this angle. Want to build a sculpture to honor a great man?
Build a sculpture that looks like him.
I am thinking of the statue of John Wayne at John Wayne International Airport in Orange County. Suitably, it was larger than life.
"If you have to explain the meme, then its a shitty meme"
Thats right. Art these days just has to have a subtext attached to justify it, the text is more important than the art so it isn't art.
I wouldn't lose my head over it.

I see where you’re coming from with this line of reasoning. I’ll think on this. Thanks.
Sooo, if I understand what you are saying, it’s that you think dick is cool. Interesting projection.
Guilty. But only my husband’s dick. Does that make it better?
Dick is dick.
My vote was for a big giant turd.
Whatever you call it, giant failure would be the most accurate.
Only one angle shows in that light, but it does look like it
KEK - family said it best - masturbatory statue! ☘️

It looks like Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima are up to a little hanky-panky in the pantry.
you think this is worth a million bucks?
10 million
10 million dollars

If this argument were what was being posted, I agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
This argument is not what has been posted - we’re all just making fun of photos taken from a deceptive angle.
We have enough to be righteously angry about without using deception. That should be left to the normies.

just looks like arms to me
Yes, but that’s NOT what we’ve all been seeing for the last two days…
True.
I still think the concept is an awful idea that could only be produced by over-educated individual.
Based on this art style, the Michigan statue of George Washington would be a floating, disembodied arm holding a hat.
Profound !
Either poop or peepee
From that angle it’s lovely. They borked the back.

Two artists who have created this kind of art are Leonardo Da Vinci (See from 1:05,) and Tim Noble and Sue Webster. (See from 1:40.)
