    The line of “people” is a piece of artwork.

    @jgarrott You hit that one right on the head! They look too lifelike for them I guess, thought they were real people.

    25% are sufficiently into the current art scene to understand the joke. Personally, I thought it was a hoot, but I am usually in the minority. On second thought, I’m not sure how current it is. That sort of thing was big in the late ’70s, early ’80s. We even have one of a couple of kids sitting on a bench reading a book in front of our public library.

    I personally prefer the ones that are realistic, but made of bronze or something obviously not… skin. There’s a terrific one of a guy with an umbrella in a square in town. It’s come in handy, a time or two, when it rains.

    __I have always wondered how they keep the other sorts of sculpture dust free. Take it to a drive through car wash in a convertable…?

    I thought it was funny, but then… I’ve seen these exhibits a time or two.

    And what did he hope the line was for?

    Or is he an ex-Soviet, who used to join lines when they saw them because, whatever was being sold, it was needed, or could be used for barter.

    I’m not so sure they are statues – maybe performance art.

    ‘Performance Art’ is the only explanation we can make? It is possible but I am not convinced. The ‘people’ in line look too real—that is, they seem to be just like Edgar and his wife—and characters in an ‘installation’ should be just a shade ‘different’. Human elements in a performance piece can NOT be indistinguishable from audience members.
