The latest in a continuing series of artworks, each of which resides for about a year on the previously unoccupied fourth plinth in London’s Trafalgar Square. It’s a giant blue rooster entitled Hahn/Cock.
I especially like the pigeons sitting below this big blue bird. I should figure out how to add thought bubbles to my photos for them. If pigeons could talk, might they be imagining themselves just as big and imposing as the sculpture?
I really like that! It looks really bright and cheerful amongst the grey granite.
Very interesting! I suppose the natives are used to this as it happens every year. What would they say in Concord, NH if this sculpture was placed on the front lawn for a year? Franklin Pierce would be spinning……..
Probably, but then Franklin wasn’t much of a progressive, was he? I’m just saying that; I’ve no idea, really. One of our less well-remembered Presidents. The Fourth Plinth (art) Project has been going on since 2005 in its current incarnation, though I’ve only seen 4 of the 6 works displayed since it started. Each one is very different from the others, so there’s really no unifying theme – which may actually BE the theme. I make a point of checking out the space every time I’m in London and I’m thrilled when a new piece appears.
