Public art needs to be seen by the public prior to being purchased. So far IMHO they are about 1 for 10 in buying something that is appreciated. <br /><br />After the great controversy over the police station itself to add controversial art would be adding insult to injury. So, far all the information about the police building design is being done in 'virtual' secrecy. We have been down that path before and it did not end well.<br /><br />Another thing about the 'art' that you featured near the Chemeketa Parkade, I have tried to see it in person a couple of times. Turns out you can't see it unless you actually drive directly past it or get out and walk past it. Not very accessible. I heard rumors that they were thinking of paying to put more 'public art' in the alleys. Ugh!Susann Kaltwassernoreply@blogger.com
