The Bronze Undead Invasion!

Every Summer Stamford has an outdoor arts exhibit downtown. This year they’ve chosen to do a one man exhibit with J. Seward Johnson, who creates life size bronze statues. 50 or so of his creations will be stationed around downtown. I’m guessing that the statue at the tip of Columbus Park that from the corner of the eye fools everyone, every time is his work. (“What’s that chick painting?”)

It may make me sound like a real ham and egger, but life size statues are more exciting than something abstract. Look, a bunch of scrap wood nailed into a series of large rectangles! My only concern is that any remotely human or animal opens itself to all sorts of degrading snapshots from the last call crowd. I remember the indignities a unicorn made out of junk suffered in photos with me and my cousins last August, I can only imagine how many “shockers” will be thrown up in cell phone pics with this young woman in the hot summer nights.
