I took a walk around Grant Park, Chicago, on Monday afternoon, in a stretch I've never trodden before. It's the area directly opposite Columbia College, 600 South Michigan Avenue. There are some public sculptures placed on the grass, made from recycled bits of cars.
Exhaust pipes forming a chaotic trellis:
And fenders fashioned somewhat boringly into flowers:
I suppose it's better if public art is just inoffensive, as opposed to actively terrible. I like the shapes that the exhaust pipe trellis make, but the flowers just get in the way of the view back towards the city, in my opinion.
