This piece clips along at a good brisk pace and the presenter has an easy listenable manner.
I did feel though that for the first 4-5 minutes of this piece I really wanted to know what the art being so maligned actually looked like. When the descriptions finally came, they were still a bit thin to connect into a picture in the head of at least this listener.
However, as I listened, I started to think about the public art I’ve seen in the United States and in Europe where I live and tried to think of pieces I liked and those I didn’t, and then tried to figure out why. So in that respect I think the radio piece worked in making one think about something that for many of us has just become public wallpaper.
And I admit I missed hearing from an artist who builds these things about his/her motivation, and wondered what their reaction would have been if Richard Paul had told them the general results of his vox pops.
