Public art in Australia is friggin' weird.
Nine Australian Public Artworks Way More Heinous Than Sydney’s New Tapeworm Cloud Thing
In her latest cunning scheme to turn the nation’s largest city into a socialist latte-lefty chemtrails hellhole, Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore has unveiled plans for a strange, frightening public sculpture she’s planning to devilishly foist upon the honest public.
The sculpture, ‘Cloud Arch’ by award-winning Japanese architect Junya Ishigami, will be a fifty-metre-plus high band of swirly white metal that will sit outside Sydney Town Hall on a newly-pedestrianised George Street. Judging by the initial reaction, people do not like it.
I guess my main concern with that statue is that it looks a lot like a spooky spooky ghost. Public art should not be that spine-chilling.

Twitter needs to calm down, though; as public art in Australia goes, this thing’s a regular Mona Lisa compared to some of the livid monstrosities we’ve foisted on ourselves over the years.
