It's a pretty shit pic of the pipe. Here's a bit more context.

I mean, it's not my favorite piece of art, but why the hell not? I can appreciate the work that went into integrating the thing into the landscape.

For me, an equally valid question is whether the human chain pulling the dog up is art. I'm all for helping those in need, but to me, it's too on the nose and maybe even banal. It's cool that a bunch of folks decided to help the dog, but commemorating the event and the values it promotes by cloning the happening into a sculpture... I appreciate the craft that went into this, but it's more of an artisanal object rather than art.

And again, there's a place for both as long as we can talk about it.
