The Calgary city council is just jealous because Saskatoon thought up this "art" first before our urban hipster liberals did.

I have a friend who runs an art gallery and what passes for "art" these days....

Nobody knows nothin' 'bout public art since this modern stuff came along.

We should have been forewarned about what passes for art these days when the National Art Gallery paid $1.8 million for this Michelangelo like work of a lifetime in 89.

I remember when that came out. My ol' man whipped up two colour painting but it had a squiggle in it. It was titled, "Bird Shit on a Branch" and he submitted it to the NAG with an offer to sell it to them for the bargain price of $500K.

He got a rejection form letter back stating they weren't currently accepting any new submissions for their collection at that time
