Roeland Park's Peculiar Art

Thu May 08, 2008 at 02:51:33 PM

Roeland Park recently put up sculptures in its “Art in R Park” project. Created by Kansas City Art Institute students, the sculptures will be on display for six months before another crop of artwork goes up. The drive-by art is located in Carpenter Park and on Roe Boulevard, between Johnson Drive and I-35.

"Click on the photo for a slideshow."

um, no thank you. I think I've seen enough already.

There has always got to be someone to say something nasty in comment threads. DLC I guess that is you.

Personally it makes me smile to see public art like this.

DLC says:

VoR, have you ever used the internet?

I actually wasn't being nasty. Just noting that this art doesn't seem nearly as interesting as Stretch's super wacky kick-ass sculpture park or that totally cool rotating ball in the freight house parking lot, or the giant inflatable "banana" on the folly theatre. well, actually the banana was awesome.

David Johnson says:

Is any of this cheap weird and unimaginative stuff art? Anybody been to Asia or Europe and seen Real art? This is just embarrassing.

i always want to go sit at the desk by the highway.
