Kids’ Proposals for 4th Plinth in London

March 20, 2014 by Glenn Weiss

Elementary and middle school artists verify that the Fourth Plinth has become a curator’s game, not artistic excellence.  Check out the more than 100o art ideas for the 4th Plinth by British children.  Many of them are more artistic and conceptually interesting the actual artists selected for the 4th Plinth.  These conceptual games just run out of interest.  The artist has become an generic idea generator with the curators serving as the actual creative person in the process.  I say put Kit Crane’s FEAR on the 4th Plinth and we would have something to look at.
