Welcome to the Olympic Sculpture Park. Whatever you do, don't touch the art. Even though you're three years old. And you're outside. And the art is outside, where things touch it all the time. And don't run. Running is fun. So don't do it. Even if you're three, and run at an adult's walking pace. For the love of art, just walk. Just do what the security man in the blue jumpsuit says. No touching. No running. No lip.
And the art that looks like a bench? Yes, the one called "Bench." Can we touch that, Mr. Blue Jumpsuit? How about just with our butts?I know this is old news, but it's still incredibly annoying. My first impulse was to set Zoë loose and let her run snotty fingers over "Eagle," maybe give "Split" a big hug, or see what "Wake" tastes like. But it was somehow more satisfying, culturally, to grumble in waspy indignance and walk on. I'm glad others have found creative ways to comment.
It is a cool park, though.
