FREEWAYS DRIVE ART EXPLOSION
By Greg Thom, transport reporter. thomg@heraldsun.com.au
"A gigantic sculpture of a sheep's skull will greet motorists hurtling along the $1.3 billion Frankston (Vic.) bypass. The confronting steel art installation, Rex Australia: The King is dead, long live the King, will be more than 7m tall and 14m wide ...
Heidi Museum of Modern Art director Jason Smith said ... "I hope dean Coll's work will be inspiring rather than distracting."
The sun-baked ram's skull is one of three pieces of art that will form the vanguard of 14 sculptures to eventually line the 27km Peninsular link project.
All have been paid for by the private sector."
To say I don't like freeway art is an understatement. Imagine if the money spent on unbelievable stupidities like the 16m rocket site called Panorama Staion, was spent on unbiased, quality research into road safety.
