It’s amazing what you can find on the internet. It made me giggle anyway.

Weird, sick, and way too much time on his hands. And why didn’t I think of Tamponhenge first (jeez, in my day, we only had had Lincoln Logs and popsicle sticks to built our ancient monuments - damned modern spoiled kids). Didja notice the might alien hand in the background (“Disaster strikes…Rain”). Proof enough that the 'Henge was not built by man alone.
(Okay, someone verbalize it - At least he did not show the aftermath of the sacrifices.)
At the University of Pennsylvania, there is a large metal sculpture at one end of campus, Covenant by Alexender Lieberman (1974).
It consists of several large metal tubes arranged at angles so they span a major walkway.
It is universally known as “Dueling Tampons”.
And of course, we musn’t forget “Carhenge”.

Here’s a link that works.
Bloody fascinating artwork there.
What time period did that come from?
Okay, I’ll stop now.
Yeeech. What an ugly piece of crap. Why do people make sculptures like that, anyway?
It’s AAAAAAAARRT, son, it’s aaaaaaaarrrrtt!

Because people buy them.
Besides, the definition of “art” is “whatever you can get away with”…
What?
I totally agree. I can’t imagine commissioning “dueling tampons”. What were they thinking?
As long as there are artsy-fartsy people willing to pay big bucks for the “strange and unusual”, then there will be artists to cater to them.
So the guys in Fight Club have something to do.
Now, I see dueling spurting blood vessels. Which is one of the reasons I’m glad I have vivid dreams. If I didn’t express those thoughts somewhere, god knows what’d happen.

Actually I rather like the “Covenant”. (Yes, it does look less like tampons and more like blood vessels, or a rather sadistic set of playtubes from Chuck E. Cheese’s.)
(Then again, what do I know about art. I like bagpipes and the music of John Tesh.)
