Superlamb Bananas

I got a good picture of the Unity superlamb banana but the site still won't let me upload photos even if I make them smaller. Is there anyone I could email it to, who could put it up here?

Public art = Waste of money
Not that old chestnut again. Can you imagine how dull the city would be if you never spent any money on non essential things? Why not melt down all the Beatles statues and sell the metal to pay for a teacher or nurse.

Sorry JohnZ, I agree with Rodders.

We need quirky/arty things just as much as anything else. Think about all the marvellous statues and pieces of art in cities across the world. There are some stunning things to see, serious things, funny things, thought provoking things, - it's what makes a place interesting and not bland.

Superlambananas back to their spiritual home
Apr 17 2008
by Ben Turner, Liverpool Echo



A FLOCK of mini-Superlambananas have found shelter in their spiritual home.

A trail of the colourful pieces of art will adorn Liverpool and surrounding areas on June 16 for the Go Superlambananas! event.

Organiser Wild In Art has found the ideal place to store the figures ahead of their big day - the Matchworks, in Garston, where the original Superlambanana was created in 1998.

The arts group has taken 5,500 sq ft of space in a deal with developer Urban Splash.

The venue will be used as a studio for artists and community groups, who have been commissioned to apply their own designs to the mini-Superlambananas.

Project director Sally Ann Wilkinson said: “Given this was the birthplace of Superlambanana, I cannot think of a more fitting place for us.�

Sounds good to me
But on a serious note,why not have something worth looking at and something that represents the city.?
Am all for art but if that's the best they can come up with to represent this fine city then to it.

I went to take one of the multicoloured one that was in an office block window in Chapel St, but that's been moved too.
