bin-it Group

Early in 2005, Channel 4 asked the public to nominate the buildings they wanted to see demolished in the series 'Demolition'. We can do the same here on Big Art Mob. There's a lot of ugly, inappropriate public art out there: badly commissioned, insensitively sited, poorly maintained or just a plain bad idea in the first place. Join BIN-IT and post images of the public art you don't want to see!

Down and Out

Painted concrete and mosaic (1989), by Hammersmith's first (and last) sculptor in residence. A neglected and dilapidated public sculpture (it was originally painted differently, had a bench all around it and more mosaics) that probably wasn't a great idea in the first place – apart from anything else, it's a sharp contrast to the difficult and often dysfunctional lives of those who really can be found sleeping on the Green! Apparently it is based on a real 'local character' who used to walk about with his head in the clouds. The work was commissioned by the borough's Public Art Programme in 1989.
I think it's time for it to go!
