Protectors of the street, or just minding their own business

Saw this today on my way to Denise Pelletier’s talk at Emily Carr (more on that later). I have no idea who the artist is and what it is for; I only know that there are four of them at the intersection under the Granville bridge going into Granville Island and my roommate Sean told me that this has popped up along Granville Street as well. I should probably check it out too.

Would anyone think of the penguins?
March 4th, 2008 | installation, sculpture
We all know about global warming, and many of us are working together to remedy the situation. 50graus’ installation is simple and to the point, which is elegant in its execution.
However, it is somewhat baffling to me that people need to see how climate change can affect penguins, whereas all the reports on how climate change can affect human lives fall on deaf ears. This is by no means criticizing 50graus’ artistic choice, but a commentary to what seems to be effective to gather people’s attention. (sort of reminds me of the public outrage towards the puppy-throwing soldier, while there are much bigger problems on hand… ) But I digress, photos and links after jump.
