Upside-down churchl
(Reader Contribution to World's Most Bizarre Statues)
It was too hot for New York City; too hot for Stanford University. But a controversial, imposing sculpture by renowned international artist Dennis Oppenheim finally found a public home in laid-back Vancouver. Now, after 21/2 years in a prominent location near Stanley Park, the upside-down country church, denounced as "blasphemous" by some aghast Christians, is about to be unceremoniously dismantled, its future uncertain. Too many negative comments and too many neighbours complaining that the sculpture interfered with their view of scenic Coal Harbour sealed the immediate fate of Mr. Oppenheim's work, entitled Device to Root Out Evil.
