Renegade hippies install renegade hippie art piece in Dolores Park

Alex writes in with this epic piece of summer solstice news:

A renegade art piece was installed this morning in Dolores Park to commemorate summer solstice. Not long after it was built, however, it was evicted by the Parks and Rec department. So this was the briefest ephemeral art project on record… The artist is Rob Bell. You may recognize it as the temple in the Dia De Los Muertos installation at Garfield Park last year and its numerous showings at burningman.

    burning man is awesome because it gives mediocre artists a chance to experience breathless praise for a week at a time

    it’s also bad because sometimes they believe it for the rest of their lives

    It’s really nice piece. They should just leave it there for the rest of the yr.

    Grump, mediocre is too kind.

    Bad, would be the most salient adjective.

    It’s great to see people take some risks and share beautiful, fun things like this with the community.

    As a former hippie, I fail to understand the modifier, “renegade.” Seems redundant.

    These “hippies” look quite young to be in their 60s.

    That just looks like a bunch of scrap metal welded 2gether.No big deal.What is a big deal is when this city gets over-run by those spoilt,trustafarian hippie scum that fuckin` leave trash around and smell bad. Hippies should stay in Berkeley or Haight St. Its` bad enough that parts what used to be the mission have been gentrified by the JAP/WASP owned realty market,we don`t need more bozos in da mission-we already got hipsters and touristey suburbanites.Make sure to watch South Park old episode where hippies take over with thier damn nasty festivals.

    Bad and Mediocre?

    Whats with all the negative and judgemental comments?

    Does someone have a load in in their diaper and need to be changed? Grow the fuck up, then make some of your own fucking art so we can piss all over it.

    Look at that dude’s site. Pretty technical shit for “hippie” art!!!
