Woke college students are ‘hurt’ by supposedly ‘phallic’ abstract sculpture

Sir Anthony Gormley used steel blocks to create his piece called “Alert,” which was meant to portray a human squatting, but the students think it appears more equivalent to an “erect penis” instead.
Gormley released a statement that appeared on the school’s website.
“Through the conversion of anatomy into an architectural construction I want to re-assess the relation between body and space. Balancing on the balls of the feet while squatting on its haunches and surveying the world around it, the attitude of this sculpture is alive, alert and awake,” he wrote.
Another concern was “Alert” being “exclusionary” by showing a man and not a woman.

A giant, brown crooked and rusty phallus?
Was Bill Clinton the model?

It’s an eyesore…. Not “art”. If my kids could have built it from LEGOs then it ain’t art.

Another concern was “Alert” being “exclusionary” by showing a man and not a woman. How do they know what the statute identifies as? Sounds rather transphobic to me!
These students are utter morons - and they will be awarded degrees.

I am an artist.
The sculpture doesn’t look phallic, human, male, female, crouching, squatting, or interesting.
Everybody go home and shut up now. Sculptor included.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. (An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”)

I guess these pansies have never seen any ancient - and far more representational - art...they’d get the vapors at The Met.
