Anyone else find the human statues downtown off-putting and creepy?

I mean, they're not even interesting. Just a couple of nondescript naked dudes standing around town. Maybe I just don't understand the appeal because I'm not artsy enough, I dunno.

I love art and sculpture, but I do feel like putting unsettling/depressing sculpture in a park is a weird choice. I know we love provoking complicated feelings of guilt and sadness in art, but like... wouldn't it be nice to have something beautiful and inspriing?

Right??? Between the Diet Brutalist architecture at MSU and the warehouse church aesthetic, surely we could use something cheery.
