glenloch art

Facet has sent in this snap from the demolished Glenloch Interchange bridge with the following note:

Absolutely fabulous new sculpture for Gungahlin Drive Extension (GDE).

I understand the new sculpture is meant to represent Canberran’s secret love of using explosives to demolish obsolete infrastructure.

And to think it cost us nothing!

It probably cost a lot more than any other piece of Canberra art when you take into account the cost of building a never-used bridge and the cost of blowing it up!

Well Canberra hasn’t any history, their gotta have something, I guess!

I absolutely love Canberra’s public art program. I think it is one of the great things about Canberra, but even I saw the humour in this and made a comment about that being a contender for an addition to our artwork collection.

That’s pour Art.

Stanhopeless would be dumbfounded that it cost nothing and Barr(humbug) would want to demolish it because it’s asset value has reached end-of-life. (Gotta love bean-counter arguements on major assets!)
