Another art statement at Magnuson Park?
Monday, January 8, 2001
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER STAFF
An Army dummy bomb was discovered yesterday at the top of Kite Hill in Magnuson Park, the site where a 350-pound replica of the monolith in Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" appeared and disappeared last week, eventually turning up on Duck Island in Green Lake.
Dewey Potter, Seattle Parks spokeswoman, said the bomb appeared sometime before 3 p.m. and that the department doesn't know who put it there or why. Some People, the group that claimed ownership of the monolith, could not be reached. Larry Campbell, a Seattle Parks security guard, said the 8-foot-tall, four-finned bomb, stuck nose first in a concrete base, appeared to be "pretty solid." He added, "It's not going to fall over and hurt anybody, that's for sure." Potter said the department "will deal with it in the morning."
The latest artistic statement could be strange love for Kubrick, whose landmark movie "Dr. Strangelove" was alternately titled "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb."
