On the Brian Lehrer Show we're talking about public art, and we want to know what public art project you'd propose. Make it simple, make it over-the-top. Make it realistic, or completely impossible! Note: These aren't actual pitches, just a way to share our ideas.
Rather than a particular project, I want to suggest a general philosophy. Public Art should have a fun factor. It should either make you laugh or deliver a sense of awed wonder (Tom Otterness, Christo, Jeff Koons), or you should be able to play on it (Tom Otterness' Playground). If you cannot provide fun, then at least include a place to sit down, preferably with some shade.
