Leaving the artistic merit of the sculpture out of the discussion, I'd say that it served its purpose of raising awareness and encouraging action.

Right to u...Skateboarders not human? Who said that?<br />Right to use space? No, not a right to use the base of the sculpture, not a right to use that plaza in the middle of the afternoon when it’s crowded with people (including children and toddlers). <br /><br />The “unused” area to the south is overseen by the city parks department, not Village Alliance. It would have been great to have had any number of facilities there. However, it is also the entrance to a high school and numerous retail businesses as well as office buildings. This somewhat limits what can be placed there.<br /><br />During the Summer Olympics, someone placed a volleyball net between two light posts and a group played every afternoon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-42802703091686136822018-06-12T12:16:29.327-04:002018-06-12T12:16:29.327-04:00the barricade was an ironic touch, fugly

Real skateboarders skate the Brooklyn Banks, FiDi building plazas, and other places with little or no foot traffic.<br /><br />They certainly can't fight one on one which is why I say wait until they all splinter up then pick one to beat down when he doesn't have his pals to save him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-46831646621602830982018-06-12T11:03:38.349-04:002018-06-12T11:03:38.349-04:00The gates were put up because the skateboarders we...The gates were put up because the skateboarders were jumping all over it and endangering all of the nearby viewers.
