'Acrobat'

December 15th 2007 04:54
Sculpture - 60 Carrington St - Wynyard - 'Acrobat'
A sculpture from the foyer of the office building at 60 Carrington Street, Wynyard (opposite the train station). I've called it "Acrobat", but I have no idea of the real title or the artist's name.

I suppose what mainly caught my eye is that it's eye-catching (if that makes some sort of perverse sense), though this isn't well-conveyed by the photos. It shouldn't be able to support its weight -- it looks too heavy to be able to stick sideways like that.

There's a sense of muscles, strength.

And there's also the sense of "This is corporate". It's kind of nice-ified and foyer-coloured and ostentatious and tacky, and I don't think there's much meaning to derive from contemplating it.

Still, a pretty piece of corporate art...

I'm guessing the corporation wishes to promote an image of their company as flexible through the art.
