Red Phallic Symbol on Highway – Highland Bridge
Posted By Mason Hayutin on Dec 29, 2008 in THE ARTS
Well Denver has done it again. Found a way to spend it’s hard earned public coffers on fine art that doesn’t serve a purpose. This is the banter on the airwaves by Caplis and DA turned Radio Host, Craig Silverman. Are they wrong?
We think partly. Art as monuments to war/causes are traditional statements for rallies; art as monuments to the creative thoughts, the engine for America’s next generations are for the human spirit at all levels. Ultimately, monuments like that wasted money of a death horse greeting fine travelers with a poltergeist Colorado/Denver welcome look at DIA should indeed be desecrated and removed. Nothing elegant or proud of civic culture comes from it – which may not be the case from glancing at this red phallic symbol.
