when public art goes wrong

- So tell me about Goldington Crescent Gardens.
- It's just a little triangle of grass and a few trees in Somers Town.
- What happens there?
- It's a cut through from St. Pancras Station. Commuters walk through in the morning and evening.
- Yes, and?
- People walk their dogs there. The dogs crap on the grass.
- Anything else?
- Street drinkers congregate on the two or three remaining benches.
- Remaining?
- Yes, there were more benches but we took them out.
- Why?
- Because of the street drinkers.
- Well it seems the place definitely needs to be improved with a nice piece of public art.
- Agreed. What kind of thing?
- I do have an artist in mind. Here, I've got some pictures of his work.
- Oh, I like this piece. What's it called?
- Giant Twiglet Sprayed Silver.
- Fuck it. That'll do.
