one of the first things i thought when i saw this thread was the spiders. also, the museum i used to work in has a butterfield horse that needed to be swept up after all the time.....
I finally remembered the sculptress's name who made the cube pieces that i was reminded of in the interior accessories thread [ the concrete and re-bar chair ] and wanted to post something of hers in here - and now I can't find any images! her name is Jackie Windsor, if anyone finds anything, drop a note here huh? it was a great show at the Rose Museum here in massachusetts..... anyway... yeah, i know, this would be better with pictures.....
This is only part of it. That's the Potomac in the background. I hear it's being moved! More info.
love this kind of stuff, Go... In Paris there is a copper man emerging from a wall...if I ever find that one I'll post it. I forget what street it was on.
six mega-reproductions of beach equipment have appeared on the spiaggia in Rimini. A huge red bucket, two giant-sized lounge chairs (one with umbrella), a paddleboat fit for Neptune, and a massive kids’ float toy are attracting a great deal of attention from vacationers in the area.

i had to search, but finally found it. that reminds me of this:
Dubbed the "Angel of the South" the 'sculpture' will be able to be seen from 60 miles away. It will be 164 feet tall (13 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty).
That'll frighten the shit out of the French as they travel through Kent
there's the phenomenon of making scultpture too true to life (even if done huge size) that's creepy. those are beautifully made, and very unnerving..... which may be the point, but ....gives me the whimwhams.
i found another example of tire scultpture. perhaps a BIT less carefully made, but.. hey

awesome tyre sculptures! no source, sorry
i like sculptures made of recycled or found items. Joe Pogan's metal birds have lovely lines.
this looks like dali's moustache in a forest! it's not, though, it's Spirit of Forest and Horses - online exhibition
