Summary: Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall announces plans for two new large-scale public art installations on the west side of the city, despite previous criticism and controversy surrounding the east side's whale sculpture. The mayor claims to want to act on community feedback, but decisions were made without any additional council votes.
Hypocritical statements:
1. "I want to do both": Mayor Mendenhall claims to want to address community feedback by installing two new art installations, but this decision was made without any additional council votes, suggesting a lack of desire for collaboration and discussion.
2. "They (the Arts Council) concluded that either the new Glendale Regional Park or the west end of the 9 Line should be the place for large-scale, new public art": The decision to install public art in these locations was made without any input from the residents of these areas, contradicting Mendenhall's claim of wanting community involvement.
3. "I want to act on community feedback": Despite claiming to want to act on community feedback, Mendenhall and the city arts officials have already started gathering feedback from residents, suggesting that the decision to install the new art pieces was already made.
4. "The survey also captured concerns over unintended consequences the art might bring, such as vandalism and gentrification": The concern over unintended consequences, such as gentrification, goes against the city's plans for redevelopment in these areas, highlighting hypocrisy in the city's priorities.
5. "Renderings for the first-phase playground show a multicolored climbing structure, slides and a large bird sculpture with shaded play areas beneath its wings": The decision to construct a large bird sculpture in Glendale, despite previous criticism about the east side's whale sculpture, shows a double standard in the city's attitude towards public art in different neighborhoods.
