Subject: RE: BS: post your favorite Government cut
I would not shed a tear if some art meant to offend and shock was not supported...or art that is just plain stupid..like some bridge art they wanted to do in Portland where bicycles rolling over a grate..on a bridge..in the rain and ice...would play some dumb tune. I would rather fund a health clinic, paint it pink and purple and call it art.

Some famous artists suggested that all publicly funded art should be voted on by the public. He did admit that it would end up being mostly leaping dolphins but oh well. THey are paying for it. mg
