They do not yet have a statue of Barack Obama or Donald Trump. President Obama's is on the way. President Trump's will come after he finishes his term (in whatever fashion!).

Moscow Sculptures: Children are the Victims of Adult Vices
By Jack Brummet, Arts & Travel Ed.
In Moscow a few years ago, I had to talk my Kremlin guide into taking me to see these sculptures on the Moscow River. She said they had always spooked her and she waited up the street while I took them in.
The sculptures by Mihail Chemiakin, "Children are the Victims of Adult Vices," depict 13 vices: alcoholism, child labor, indifference, drug addiction, prostitution, sadism, ignorance, pseudoscience, war, poverty, theft, capital punishment, and violence.

Donald Trump naked in Seattle, NYC, Cleveland, San Francisco, and L.A.
By Jack Brummet, Public Art Ed.
A statue of a Donald J. Trump has been placed at the corner of 11th Avenue and Pike Street. The plaque reads: "The emperor has no balls."
As it turns out, these statues now appear in San Francisco, Seattle, L.A., and Cleveland. The statues were created and deployed by the art activist group INDECLINE. Where next?
And when will the candidate freak out publicly about this? Stay tuned. . .

People Molesting Statues (and vice versa), Part 2
By Jack Brummet, Public Art Ed.
With millions and millions of people routinely carry cameras in their pocket every day, we see new photographic categories all the time. We like to think of these as statue outrages. We found these on various spots on the internet, and also received a number of them from ATIT readers/fans.
Our previous post on statue molestations and outrages appears here.

Down in the Dumps by Mark Roberts a/k/a Markrobla
Down in the Dumps is a public art series by UK-based artist Mark Roberts, aka Markrobla, that features figurative sculptures that look like people stuck in trash cans. Appearing to have dived head first into the public waste bins, the disembodied pair of legs lifelessly dangle in an awkward position leaving one to wonder whether a person has actually wedged themselves…

I like what you've done with the place:Tubs in Seattle
By Jack Brummet, Public Arts Editor
In March 2009 The Free Sheep Foundation (I think these are the same guys who liberated the Bridge Motel on Aurora) occupied the Tubs building in Seattle's U District, which has been "slated for demolition" for a couple of years now. It's become an wonderfully and continually changing canvas for whatever artist or tagger shows up. Early on, people were outraged by all the painting, but over time, it has become a popular stopping by point. I think every neighborhood needs a building like this.
I like what you've done with the place.
I always stop by when I am in the neighborhood, but have never seen anyone at work. I think they only come out at night? I believe there is some kind of loophole in Seattle's graffiti law, in which "the authorities" are unable to do anything about the artistic improvements to this long abandoned building.
If you're interested, there is a Flickr group that continually posts photos as the building evolves. I took these seven photos on January 2, 2012.

Images of the Kansas City Public Library
The book walls at the Kansas City Public Library. This is pretty cool. At least a couple of walls feature mostly modern classics, and one seems to include popular and genre fiction.
