Seems like I recall hearing of a proposal or two for some public sculptures last year. There was a bit of a fuss. Then it all got "referred to committee" and I haven't heard any more--which is often the purpose of such referral. I do recall also hearing about a temporary installation which was up for about a month, since everyone knew it wasn't a permanent change to the landscape, it was perhaps more acceptable. I'm sure ideas will continue to come, and when appropriate they will survive the decision making process. I can't help but think that man-carved standing stones are really a public sculpture which have permanently changed/created the landscape. There have also been those who wanted to knock them down, did knock some of them down. Then there are those buried in the ground still to be exposed.
