I think this line's mostly filler.

Someone should put an adorable stuffed kitty on the other side of the glass.
Or a little pig dressed as a construction worker. "The fourth little pig built his house out of wolf-proof glass. He's safe as long as he doesn't throw stones."

This piece of art may well be better than the lass with the ex-pig, you know.

They sure went to a lot of trouble to make them look like 99 different wolves. I like it.

That said, I just don't like violence in my visual art. Esp. animal violence. The piece makes the wolves look stupid. I'm allowed to not like it without speculation as to my mood or cycle, aren't I?

Oh. My. God! Disturbing but funny. Metaphor for the human race?
And bugger! Sundaegirl was right. I just caught myself whistling '99 Red Balloons'. Damn the Chinese, so that's their master plan for world domination, not communism but communal whistling of dodgy German tunes! Inscrutable bastards! |

Art, if it's any good, means more than one thing. And the meanings constantly change over time and are dependent on the persons making the meaning. The artist's intention is just one of a great many possibilites, not the one right reading. Some interpretations maybe more interesting than others, thats what the conversation is about. Cool work. It reminds me of predators, herds, migration, contellations, epic war, grimms tales, warnings, road kill, extinction, natural history diaramas. The fact that in real life it would totally surround you and overwhelm you, add a cool element of intimidation. But let's ask Uggg. |

I can't really explain why, but I really like it. And as a general rule, I don't like installation art. In fact, I can only think of one other "art" IOTD that I've ever liked: the curtain of rainbow-colored hanging balls a couple of weeks ago.
I like the idea of an airborne flow of animals. And the ones running into the glass just make me laugh every time I think about it--like they're not hurt, just humiliated. Embarassed wolves are funny. |

Yep. The kids love it. "The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish" is good too, but they prefer the wolves.
