Urban window art gets destroyed along with abandoned buildings in Detroit.

The Lafayette Building in downtown Detroit is about to get demolished. A lot of art (or not) will, unfortunately, have to go down with it. See for yourself. Is this stuff worth keeping around? If yes, then at what cost?

Artonot #14: Phallic symbols in modern architecture

Posted in art on April 20th, 2009 by admin – 2 Comments

Listen, I like riding up and down the elevator at Toronto’s CN Tower as much as the next guy (which is almost as much as I’d enjoy caressing another man’s shaft), but most skyscrapers are nothing but phallic symbols. Admit it, you know its true. As such, they are, by definition PR0N, NOT artwork. At artonot.com we will go by the rule that anything that even remotely resembles a p3n1s cannot be considered truly artistic, at least in our hugely unpopular opinion, that is. Here’s one of the more prominent examples of architectural pr0n, enjoy:

Our Verdict: BLATANT UNART.
