Is that because it doesn't pander to your own sense of what's beautiful or art? Or because you don't think Trafalgar Square is the place to be making socio-political statements?
This is what i don't understand..... if it's a socio-political comment then Trafalgar Square would seem to be the perfect place for it.
As the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce quotes ........ "Trafalgar Square has long been the place of political meetings and demonstrations, including those of the Chartists who began their march here in 1848. More recently, it has become the terminal point of protest marches." and as Paul Usherwood, rightly points out in Art Monthly 98-99 "...it remains the case that, whatever the issue, whether it be women's' suffrage, Suez or the Poll Tax, Trafalgar Square is the place you go as a responsible citizen in time of national celebration or crisis."
