Brace yourself windmillers…
Need I say anything else? I adore art being outside and juttering people out of their day to day worlds. Get art of the galleries, get it onto our beaches, in our sky and in our lakes.
This is simply wonderful!
For those who adore the details:
Title: Rubber duck
Year: 2007
Location: river the Loire, France
Dimensions: 26 x 20 x 32 meters
Materials: inflatable, rubber coated PVC, pontoon and generator
Assigned by: le Lieu Unique and the Biennial Estuaire
A yellow spot on the horizon slowly approaches the coast. People have gathered and watch in amazement as a giant yellow Rubber Duck approaches. The spectators are greeted by the duck, which slowly nods its head. The Rubber Duck knows no frontiers, it doesn’t discriminate people and doesn’t have a political connotation. The friendly, floating Rubber Duck has healing properties: it can relief mondial tensions as well as define them. The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages!

I love it! I want one. And you are right, seeing that big rubby ducky floating by the piers would make anyone smile no matter what was on their mind.
Thanks for sharing.
