12/21/2004: Bread sculpture
 The IotD never misses an opportunity to highlight art made of food. From the full story: The work, simply called Bed, was made from 8,000 slices from which the sculptor, Antony Gormley, carefully ate away his own imprint. The result is the size of a normal double bed, with two hollow human shapes. |

If anyone other than the Emperor had worn the Emperor's new clothes no one would have deluded themselves.
But, I'll say this for the guy - the haircut/glasses/black shirt and intellectually assertive pose really work together to create a certain [insert French word frequently uttered at cocktail parties here] which does have the effect of making me want to stroke my goatee and quietly nod as opposed to thinking that if he filled one impression with Skippy and the other with Smuckers that it would make a nice centerpeice at Wonderbread's annual shareholder's meeting.

Looks like some of the bread is already getting pretty moldy. This pile of crap is going to smell pretty bad soon.
Oh, and (obligatory high-thinking, hoity-toity aesthetic comment in English)!

bread sculpture
This is Mr Gormley's contribution to the North East of England where I live.
It is sited right next to the motorway and is known locally as the Gateshead flasher though I cannot think why  http://www.gateshead.gov.uk/angel/pics2.htm |

I suppose in the right light it looks like a gent holding his trench coat open to reveal his shortcomings.
Public art projects like that typically annoy me. I didn't realize the Brits had that problem too. (the last such thing I actually thought was cool was Picasso's monkey in Chicago, but then, hey, it's Picasso)

This guy has nothing on Janine Antoni: http://www.artnet.com/magazine/news/...ews11-14-8.asp
