A group of wrinklies, touring the streets yesterday pm, stood, stared, held maps aloft and pondered loudly whether Mr M up his ladder (as usual) was an exhibit. The funniest thing was they were serious.

Some of them are nothing like a bit of art! Haven't been round them all but some we have seen have been mince. The blurb hyping them up is the best bit. I do like Wangi's cones though and the naked torso is really good.

I love the story Marissa.
Now if I could find a window cleaner that would be a real talking point

The cones. Wifie looking at it says "what a waste of an ice cream" Wink

The torso

The gorse. I cant really see this one lasting. It goes from the cakestand over the Prom and onto the beach.
So not only are people walking on it, there's skateboards, tractors and that numpty on the motorcylcle. Not to mention dogs ( and one curious cat last night )

So far no repeat of my favourite "converse on a lampost"

I'm not impressed with any of it.

I'd rather watch Marissa's man up his ladder for a bit of entertainment.

I don't get much of it either but good on them for having the courage of their convictions Confused

. Haven't seen the lolly sticks yet. Where are they?

Did you ever see the one in a magazine where the girl had filled her garden with bits of barbie dolls and the neighbours complained because it was so creepy?

i like the arty metal flower things in Bedford Terrace, No 22 I think it is. But agree like Epy that most of it is an acquired taste.

not see the lolly sticks yet, but its very strange.

The lolly sticks are" the gathering"
Its no 18, in Pitville Street.

We should all make sure we eat an ice lolly this week, keep the stick, do a self portrait on it and add it to the installation Very Happy

. Do you think anyone would notice?
