The Crosby beach (Liverpool) Gormleys got adorned with football strips of various hues, hats, condoms, wreathes of seaweed etc. etc. I think people have got bored of that now though and they are mainly adorned with barnacles.
I'm probably biased - and admittedly I've only seen pictures so far - but these figures don't have the same power in an urban setting as they do facing down the waves. Perhaps the rooftop ones do....
it was really bizarre because from far away you thought that this was one of these performance artists that want money. it took me quite a while to touch the figure.
now *that* a genius idea. Performance artists copying the Gormley body and hanging out motionless on streets.
