Mel Lastman’s Moose in the City project invited artists to paint for the public, and also encouraged sponsors to pay artists to compose heavily branded moose for them. Most of the moose were simply made up like paper dolls, in different outfits. Look: it’s a moose mailman! Others were just collaged paintings forced into the shape of a moose. At least four had a “moosaic” pun in their name. While limitations can force a creative person into new artistic territory, Lastman’s moose were more like a corporate-sponsored colour-by-number, akin to a publicly funded music album with commercial jingles every other track—and they all had to be played on the ukulele. People responded by stealing the moose’s antlers and sometimes scuffing up the paint job. The moose themselves were eventually auctioned off; many of their new owners repainted them in their own favourite costumes. Does that mean there was a lack of respect for the original artwork? Or that the art was so fun it encouraged interactivity?
