Don’t know how I feel about this sculpture yet…I saw it yesterday and was trying to figure out its purpose…

Drunk climbing all over that seems like an accident waiting to happen.

Let the art wars begin anew…

Oh wow no ones ever welded ca-razy shapes out of flat steel plates and painted it all one color before!!!

I saw them working on it this morning. It is one of those sculptures you take a look at and ask yourself “Is it done?” I think they put it there to block the homeless and hookers from sitting on the benches outside Busboys or at least block the view from outside eaters.

I agree that the yellow doesn’t quite do it for me, but I do like the idea of public art in the neighborhood. And the point of public art isn’t to please everyone, but instead to provide diversity and something interesting. I think it at least fits the latter point. And I do like how it has a bench built into it.

Funny I only just noticed Louis’ Rogue (the strip bar opposite) for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I drive by there all the time. (The only time I’ve every been in one, Camelot, was for a wake for a former frequent customer. Very enlightening if you are shopping for a bikini wax but haven’t figured out what style you want yet…)

I’ve seen the racing stripe, the lightning bolt, and the “dot”.

Yes! – swings would be excellent! A thousand swings could solve everything (I am not being sarcastic – tragic that you would think so – motion and play is often the solution.)

And drunk accidents are fine if you die before reproducing.

well said, victoria

In all seriousness – do we know for a fact this is intended as “art” and not actually a jungle-gym of some sort?

Here’s hoping that the City didn’t pay for this….

i’ve seen better looking stuff floating in the anacostia
