Silly season cuts the boredom
【1月14日 AFP】大統領選の党候補を争う共和党予備選挙を19日に控えた米サウスカロライナ（South Carolina）州でこのほど、マートルビーチ（Myrtle Beach）に砂でできた同党候補6人の肖像がお目見えした。同州予備選に先立つアイオワ（Iowa）、ニューハンプシャー（New Hamsphire）両州の予備選・党員集会で決定的勝利を収めた候補者はいない。(c)AFP
These images of farce transcend the moral offensiveness of the original Mt. Rushmore sculptures. And, what a relief, eh? For what else do I think of, when I consider Mt. Rushmore and what it means to be an American?
• In North by Northwest, by Alfred Hitchcock, I remember Eva Marie Saint hanging from it. (Is that right?)
• Just today I discovered the sculptures were carved near where Custer had his last stand. The artist was a member of the KKK. Yucko.
In America, most people don't think much about what Mt. Rushmore symbolizes. It's just another national monument. They don't find it strange that four white dead men's faces are carved into nature, and that these men were responsible for the genocide of tribal nations.
These sand sculpture caricatures of the conservative Republican candidates are great art at its finest. Speaking a message much larger than perhaps the artist(s) intended.
