Yesssss. It's the from here part of me that makes my head itch too, when I think of why I'd want to litter my city with pigs. I get the piggybank motif, but it's not like we've got stockyards or anything. It was a trip, they were everywhere. Maybe the jarring effect was intentional. They certainly got your attention. But each individual pig was just....out there. There wasn't a coherent Please give to the Market campaign. I don't know if that would have been better (prolly worse more commercialism).
There's a delightful history of
guerrilla art here in Seattle. I wondered if this was
more of it. There certainly were plenty of them. I just don't make the pigs=seattle equation without a little more background.
