Empty plinth sidelines sculpture

An artist’s sculpture has been rejected by the Royal Academy of Arts which has instead opted to display the wooden support it was put on.
David Hensel, 64, from East Grinstead, West Sussex, was told the laughing head would be part of the summer exhibition.

But at a preview he found that just a piece of wood intended to support the head was on display on the plinth.

The Academy said the judging panel assumed the two pieces were separate and decided the support was better.

Yeah, the scupture was nice. You’ve really got to wonder what goes on in the “Judging Panel” heads.

It qualifies as “ART” to me because no way could I have done it, at least without a lot of practise.

Maybe it scared someone’s child. I know if I saw that looking through my window I’d scream and join the monsters under the bed.

Well the second picture from the link looks like there is a Prince Albert on display. The first one looks like a reaction to the piercing process.

I can kinda understand the confusion

Is a Prince Albert piercing called such because of rumours of a certain Royal that had to have his ..erm manhood strapped to his leg because of the erm length?? (this is slightly off topic i know, but just curious)!

The second pic looks just like something they’d display at the Walker gallery hereabouts. Okay, yeah, I’ll grant it’s art, I guess. Just don’t ask me to pay the imaginitive dosh for it.
