Uninspiring Public Art
This sculpture was built outside the downtown Kitchener Courthouse decades ago, but it’s so incredibly ugly and vaguely rude that the Courthouse moved away.
Seriously, I’ve often wondered why anyone would spent masses of money on such an awful thing, but as I think about it, this isn’t the first time I’ve blogged about the thing. And everyone I’ve ever discussed it with has strong opinions on the sausage (or the bowel movement or whatever your pet name for the thing is) even if negative. Which means this piece of sculpture has inspired feelings and gotten people talking about art, so maybe it is serving a purpose.
