So I went out to prove my theory that Rotterdam is filled with contradictory, breath-taking, and at times out of place art pieces. From my gallivanting I would say that to a degree I was right. There are some 'odd' pieces (yes, this is my opinion and I don't necessarily speak for anyone else). But as you'll see from this picture of...well, whatever it is, the art can be a bit far removed or at least at odds with its environment. I'm not trying to say that Rotterdam has a landscape that fits together like IKEA furniture, I just think that if art is going to be this…um… thought provoking, then why not put a little explanation with it. Let us outsiders, in?
I've gone and made a second slide show which I will display for a while. It shows some of the more spectacular pictures that I took around the city although I have to say, for all the craziness, there is just as much beauty. For all those statues that seem out of place, their location is different while at the same time the same for its inclusion of a unique piece of art. I didn’t want to spend too much time explaining anything because well, your guess is as good as mine.
Future step, I need to talk to some people concerning the rhyme and reason for these pieces of art. For the time being, they are a happy bafflement of the mind.
