There is no question that it's art. But there are very, very few people who like all art, most people have fairly strong preferences or opinions. Some art is polarizing, provoking or even offensive -- and sometimes intentionally. But it's still art.
I couldn't agree more with you. I don't have an artistic bone in my body but, art is meant to inspire, it sometimes tells a story, it causes discussion. This art my not be beautiful, but it is ever so interesting and we should be proud that it is there. I hope the region leaves it as is. It is a part of our history.
