Why apologise when you can call it as it is?
This hoarding can be found near the Tate Modern in London.
From an article on the installation and site:
"On a recent visit to Munich, (artist Scott) King was struck by how many civic buildings were hidden behind digital images printed on to vinyl sheeting. The images depicted the façade of the buildings behind them in 1:1 scale: thus creating a kind of ‘simile’ of the city.
His proposal for this installation creates the opposite to that. Here, the hoarding celebrates its own ‘ugliness’, the opposite to the civic buildings of Munich."
Now, I don't quite take to the artist's statement. "Celebrates its own ugliness"? Oh come on, it's a piss take and a good one.
Why not just call it what it is?
