QUOTE (moebary @ Aug 16 2007, 02:59 PM)  where does the money for these statues come from anyway? I'm sure it's from student fees. The statue is outside of Gordon (the Honors) dorm. Ten dollars says that at least a dozen people have complained from its "risque" nature... --------------------  |

wow that makes it even dumber. how many statues do you see out there with a f'n 500 word description of the artists "vision". i thought people were supposed to just look at it and come up with their own ideas.

i think every fucking sculpture they have at tech is a steaming pile of shit, especially the "tornado of ideas" sculpture that looks like a hunk of scrap metal someone forgot to haul away after the completion of the student union extension
and bookman = ghey |

soapsuds is cool, and the masked rider by the alumni pavilion is pretty cool, everything else is too abstract for my tastes
i think they should replace the art buyer with a committee of students, hell in least it save us on some salary cost. |

.5% of every new construction project budget has to go toward art. state law for college campuses. that's why. not student fees.

bookman is retarded, so is the sphere, so are all these statues that are "superartiste". Soapsuds is fine, masked rider is fine, will rogers is fine. Why can't we just have more normal statues instead of trying to make some lame ass faux abstract piece of shit. I'm no art major, i'll be the first to admit, but I can still tell when something is a waste of time money and space.

I can't imagine how terrible the statues would be if they were picked by students. Other than a 90 ft statue of Wes Welker I can't think of anything that would be interesting.

will rogers statue is one of the shittiest ones tech has. will rogers is a damn fictional character from a old tv show! tech has too many mascots. and the "pinball" art work is actually really fucking cool. for people (like zetec who hasnt been at tech for what years now?) who may not know what it actually is/does - you should go find out and maybe learn something about art while you are at it

Um yea dude, will rogers is an actual person. It's official you have no idea wtf you're talking about. But here's what 2 seconds of googling can do http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Rogers Do people on this board ever not talk directly from their ass, or does everyone just assume that they know everything all the time? |
