I see from researching online that there was consultation with a panel from the neighbourhood, but that's not the same thing as letting everyone have a say. What I would like to see in future is that before a work of public art is put up, that as with zoning change requests there should be a sign on the spot for 30 days depicting the proposed work and telling where to send comments, and when a hearing will be held. Then those who feel strongly one way or the other can have their say instead of just a small group who got invited to have tea with the artist. At the end of that time, the public art committee could decide the way it wanted to, but at least they would know how more people feel.FWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185848099015061306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449110155141954173.post-688740124293700062010-02-05T10:55:41.943-08:002010-02-05T10:55:41.943-08:00Hi,

I have friends who have made photos of the artwork their profile picture on Facebook they love it so much. <br /><br />If you are not one of those who like this artwork, that's too bad, but as the other poster said, don't claim that your views are shared.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449110155141954173.post-79314656716414138972010-01-30T21:30:53.117-08:002010-01-30T21:30:53.117-08:00Dear Anonymous,

I am interested in your views and your experience. I am a homeowner four blocks away who received nothing, nor did I see anything posted at the Sky Train stop to invite station users. No one I have talked to heard anything about it before it appeared, and none of them understands how it could have been chosen or likes it at all.FWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185848099015061306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449110155141954173.post-43460940014947540452010-01-30T17:16:56.497-08:002010-01-30T17:16:56.497-08:00I live near the sign and we were consulted, even h...I live near the sign and we were consulted, even having coffee with the artist and the city. I like the work, including the neighbours I spoke to. I don't agree that most of the neighbourhood would be against this work. Speak for yourself rather than cloaking your views behind a false speaking for your neighbourhood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
