These contemporary works of art sit at the edge of the landbridge, north of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, in The Domain. The dark bronze sculpture “Prometheus for Franz Kafka” is 3.45 metres tall and was created by William Tucker in 1990. It represents “a lump of matter [reflecting] on the mythological Prometheus ... and the writings of Franz Kafka”. The untitled angular, yellow, abstract concrete piece nearby was made by Mike Parr in 1998 and is on loan from the John Kaldor collection. The kindest word I can use to describe them is 'interesting'.
I was going to say crap, but interesting is a word you can use here.
ReplyDeleteYou are being too kind.
ReplyDeleteNow they're not that bad; maybe they improve on the other side. Boom & Gary of The Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely art is totally subjective but I would agree with you in here J.
ReplyDeleteThey are that. Hmm..... Found art?
ReplyDeleteSometimes indeed as difficult as life itself. The one in the background reminds me of a 'monk who bends', maybe 'earth' as well.
ReplyDeletePlease have a good new week.

Sandy Carlson, maybe they did find these. It would explain why they didn't have a plaque nearby or maybe the artists didn't want to take any credit for them.
ReplyDeleteYes, I will stick with interesting.
ReplyDeleteTruly interesting! Thanks for dropping by :)
ReplyDeleteI don't see it as an art work :)
ReplyDeleteI've tried to interpret them but I couldn't. :) Your word is kinder.
ReplyDeleteHappy MYM.

art can be appreciated by people who loves them.
ReplyDeleteThe only art I see is your great photo.
ReplyDeleteIMHO your word is too kind... I cannot make head or tail of these, but I'm probably just too unsophisticated to appreciate modern art ;-P
ReplyDeleteInteresting is a good word. Happy MYM!
ReplyDeleteI like contemporary art because I think I can make one ^_^ Happy Monday!

Interesting is what came to my mind as well. The darker one in the back reminds me of a Pokemon figure my daughter once had.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!

ReplyDeleteHave a nice MYM

Frankly, the one on the left looks like shit, or more specifically, a large turd. No offense intended.
ReplyDeleteI think kids would climb on the one in front. I'm sure they would be less kind to one in back. Interesting. Yes...that's it.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, I think I will stick with interesting as well...
ReplyDeleteIt got me thinking, art doesn't have to be beautiful is it? Who knows what that glob of concrete and pointy-thing mean, only the artist can tell...
Hmmm, I love modern art but for these I will stick with "interesting".
