Let me be the first, and hopefully not the last, to say it:
Upside-down statutes are not avant-garde art. They are stupid, worthless stunts.
Artist Charles Robb said the inversion of La Trobe questioned the purpose of public monuments and their meaning in contemporary society.
How about questioning the purpose of vandalism of public space with dumb crap in contemporary society?

Fine, then put one in your living room, but leave public parks alone.

Such is the problem with "public parks." One man's art-form is another man's vandalism, and you fall into either majoritarian dictatorship or the imposition of "sensible art" by self-appointed bureaucrats.
