Im still looking at all that garbage held together with wire and wondering who in the world sees "art" there. It looks more like they had a bunch of crap they couldnt get rid of, bundled it together and rolled it out onto the square.. Jeesh. I can just see some yuppie standing there with a tilted head, sipping a starbucks latte, thinking " I wonder what was going through the artists mind". If I were you, Id proposition the "artist" . Give him 50 bucks for the IG-88 can ( hey its close enough to make a prop. ) , tell him to replace it with the toilet support off a DC-9. Nobody will be the wiser....

You should see the crap that passes as "art" in the lobby of the building I work in. We have 3 pieces in the lobby:
1) a paper mache 3/4 scale pickup with 3 flat tires and the 4th tire is missing and the wheel is on a cynder block. The engine is missing and there are weeds growing through the bed. On the rear window is a sticker of a guy with cuts and bruises, tied up, wearing nothing but his tighty whities - and this is all done in paper mache or something similar
2) 3, bright pink, 30' (yes, 30 foot) smoke stacks that look like they're made out of styrofoam. Each has it's own, bright pink, toxic cloud stuck to the ceiling. they look like styrofoam as well.
And last, but not least,
3) the worlds crappiest representation of New York city. Some ass hat took scrap wood (pieces of 2x4, 1x3, 1x2, 1x4, etc) and painted them all different colors. Then they nailed them together at varying heights to represent buildings (we assume) all around a giant sand pit. Whoever made this steaming pile has never seen an actual topography of manhattan.
And then they wonder why artists are starving....
