The beauty of art is that whether you appreciate it or not is up to you. If these were posters being placed around school bike racks or designed to be a safety campaign then of course it would be a problem...but that is simply not the intent. As someone who also rides a bike to work everyday (wearing a helmet), I do believe that your energy, as good intentioned as it is, is better suited to a cause that might actually result in changed behavior. Criticizing an artist's work, or a city office who's directive is to promote art in this great city and increase access to art for those who otherwise cannot afford to see it due to museum costs and the like, hardly seems like a worthy cause or good use of time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
