尽管受到批评,丹佛机场的“魔鬼马”雕塑很可能留下来

丹佛居民现在可以请求城市摆脱丹佛国际机场有争议的雕像“野马”.今天

经过五年的漫步,迷人或令人愉悦的旅行者,丹佛国际机场的“魔鬼马”,正如一些评论家所说的那样,正在引起新一轮关注,但看起来它会留下来.

看看“蓝色野马”,一个32英尺,9,000磅,电动蓝色,解剖学上正确的玻璃纤维雕塑,位于佩尼亚大道,一条通往机场的主要道路上的饲养马.

它凶狠的外表和炽热的红眼为它赢得了诸如“Blucifer”,“撒旦的骏马”和“蓝色的死亡种马”之类的绰号。创作它的艺术家LuisJiménez在一块雕塑落在他的腿上时死了切断动脉,增加了展览的怪诞状态.

留在丹佛国际的Facebook页面上的评论称其为“从一个可怕的尴尬”到“可怕的,有点恶心”的一切。但其他海报称其为“令人敬畏”和“惊人”。

截至上个月,Mile High City的居民可以做的不仅仅是在网上发泄 – 他们可以要求官员摆脱这匹马.

该小组的女发言人姜怀特说,在丹佛,公共艺术通常会在该市文化委员会考虑任何删除请求之前保留五年。等待期旨在为新装置提供增长的机会.

对于“野马”,该窗口于2月11日结束,这意味着它现在有资格被删除。但到目前为止,丹佛文化事务委员会尚未收到任何要求摆脱雕塑的请求,怀特告诉NBC新闻。周二没有计划在集团的月度会议上讨论这匹马.

怀特说,对于委员会采取行动,请愿人必须在很长一段时间内表现出“极端不利的公众反应”。官员怀疑会发生什么.

一些人发现这个32英尺高,9,000磅的雕像令人毛骨悚然,而另一些人则认为这让人们谈论艺术.今天

丹佛国际发言人劳拉·科尔称,“野马”最有可能留下,称其为该地区的标志性作品。在最近的一项调查中,旅行者称这座雕像是机场最令人难忘的特色之一,仅次于其着名的帐篷屋顶,她说.

但她承认不是每个人都是粉丝.

“我们继续收到关于’野马’的反复意见,”科尔说。 “这就像任何其他艺术作品一样。有些人非常喜欢,有些人则不喜欢。“

Count Denver房地产经纪人Rachel Hultin在“不喜欢”阵营。 Hultin曾经推出了一个名为“DIA的令人发指的蓝色野马已经走了”的Facebook页面 – 称该作品很有趣,但不适合它的位置。当旅行者开车去机场时,他们很快就会骑马并瞥见它只有几秒钟,所以他们没有机会了解更多关于它的信息。.

“这是一件非常具有侵略性的艺术品,如果你打算将它作为国际机场的门户艺术品,那么你需要提供解释性信息,或者让人们至少与它建立关系,”她告诉NBC新闻.

像许多评论家一样,她发现这尊雕像炽热的红眼睛“恶魔般”并且威胁性很强,特别是在夜晚。但是Coale说这个功能实际上是艺术家对他父亲的致敬,他的父亲是一个霓虹灯标志制造者.

Hultin观察到,公众对雕塑的反对意见似乎已经大大平静下来,即使她仍然认为它不属于机场,她也不会请求城市移动它.

与此同时,丹佛邮报表示希望这匹马能够坚持下去,称赞它是该地区历史和文化遗产的象征.

该报在上个月的一篇社论中宣称:“雕塑是 – 真正意义上的 – 非凡。” “’Mustang’是一种奇怪的Ed先生,因为这是一匹让人意外地谈论艺术的马。”

    Denver residents can now request the city to get rid of the controversial statue “Mustang” at Denver International Airport. After five years of wandering, the captivating or delightful traveler, the “Devil Horse” at Denver International Airport, is attracting new attention, as some critics say, but it looks like it will stay. Look at the “Blue Mustang,” a 32-foot, 9,000-pound, electric blue, anatomically correct fiberglass sculpture of a feeding horse on Peña Boulevard, a major road leading to the airport. Its fierce appearance and fiery red eyes have earned it nicknames such as “Blucifer,” “Satans Steed,” and “Blue Death Stallion.” The artist who created it, Luis Jiménez, died when a sculpture fell on his leg, cutting an artery, adding to the bizarre nature of the exhibition. Comments left on Denver Internationals Facebook page range from “a terrible embarrassment” to “terrifying and a bit nauseating.” But other posters call it “awe-inspiring” and “amazing.” As of last month, Mile High City residents could do more than vent online – they could ask officials to get rid of the horse. The groups spokeswoman, Ginger White, said that in Denver, public art is usually retained for five years before the citys cultural committee considers any removal requests. The waiting period is intended to provide growth opportunities for new installations. For “Mustang,” the window closed on February 11, which means it is now eligible for removal. But so far, the Denver Cultural Affairs Committee has not received any requests to get rid of the sculpture, White told NBC News. There are no plans to discuss the horse at the groups monthly meeting on Tuesday. White said petitioners must show “extremely adverse public reactions” for the committee to take action. Officials are skeptical of what will happen. Some find the 32-foot, 9,000-pound statue creepy, while others think it gets people talking about art. Today, Denver International spokeswoman Laura Coale said “Mustang” is most likely to stay, calling it a signature work in the area. In a recent survey, travelers said the sculpture was one of the airports most memorable features, second only to its famous tent roof, she said. But she admits not everyone is a fan
