Recycled art is often toxic

Once you've extracted the wow and the ha-ha, you are left with the moans and the "we paid someone for that?" The picture reflects that rather well.

True story: an up-and-coming student artist conceived of a macro-installation of telephone poles and pole sections, assembled outdoors (obviously) and named something with the word 'hedgehog' included. 40-50 feet tall with one long pole as spine and sections poking out from that in a spiral (or randomly?). Even back when (B.C.Phones) it was much photographed ridicule-lessly. Cue spring break. Cue coming back from spring break and finding that the grounds people had had it hauled away to the dump after breaking it down as the junk they judged it. Cue trying to get a course grade based on the results of a public appeal for photographs.
