In August this year, unauthorized, life-sized golden sculptures of anatomically correct men were abandoned in Seattle’s Gas Works Park. Made from papier-mache and covered in gold in certain parts, the men appear to be hiding in sleeping bags or emerging from cocoons. Nearby, a plaque read: “Anew is gifted to the citizens of Seattle in the spirit of awakening. Each of us has shells to break through, parameters to look past, and wills to exercise. Arise and stand. And then start Moving. If still here, I will remove these once the rains return.” In good spirit, the Seattle Parks Department let the free art installation be for a few days as the public had given them so much positive feedback.
