I just saw this and thought I would post this for purely pesonal reasons. I worked in Rotterdam for a while and I often cycled by this sculpture by Atelier Van Lieshout an thought it was interesting. I just saw a blog post of it from 5th March 2010 saying it was going up in Rotterdam the next day, turns out we arrived in Rotterdam on the same day. I'm sure this isn't interesting for most people...
I suppose it's quite "dark" really and as the Dezeen post said "evokes associations with the current economic crisis, the exhaustion of raw materials and the bankruptcy of the consumer society" but for me it can't help having a humourous quality, the figures look like Morph...
