Critics have established an anti-Odyssey sculptures Facebook page, and even conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh has weighed in. His Limbaugh Letter called the sculptures \"Edward Scissorbridge,\" a reference to a 1990 fantasy movie about a man with scissors for hands. The letter said that instead of serving as a gateway to the city, \"the artwork appears to be a gateway to disaster.\" Initially, \"we wanted to ship the Statue of Liberty back to France, too,\" [Lynette Pohlman] said. \"The exciting part of this is that it's an active dialogue. Everybody is talking about it. I call that a success. If people were driving by and not noticing it, that would be horrible.\" \"There is a sense of order and a sense of logic, which is basically organized and civilized society coming into this agrarian landscape and the interface with that,\" [Albert Paley] said. \"A lot of the elements project up into the sky, so you have that silhouetted image, the same as you have that silhouetted image of dead trees or cornstalks or whatever that might be.\"

Continuing with the recent trend of art adorning public buildings, a 4,200-pound sculpture by international sculptor Albert Paley was recently installed on Tamarac's still under construction Fire Station No. 78. Paley's artwork, which represents the various elements of fire service, was selected by the city's Public Art Committee out of submissions from as many as 156 artists. The New York-based artist initially worked as a goldsmith before becoming a sculptor.

There are some outdoor sculptures that neither inspire nor appall viewers. You can sum up your general reaction to them with a grand total of three letters: \"Meh ...\" Albert Paley's 64-foot-tall Hallelujah in front of the Clay Center in Charleston is not one of those sculptures. In fact, a year and a half after it was unveiled, the Clay Center - perhaps delighted with the chatter about Paley's sculpture - hosted a public forum, featuring four artists, on the topic of \"Hallelujah: A Dialogue with the Art Community. I am in the \"love it camp. So much so, that this week's \"100 Seconds is not my first video fling with the sculpture. That would be the slideshow of photos and video - \"Nine Ways of Looking at Hallelujah - I did some years ago, that you can see here: youtu.be/hoMdgoTMRgk.

WHAT: The Mennello Museum of American Art will be hopping on Sunday with a chance to meet artist Albert Paley and free family activities.

\"You can work very, very small with incredible detail or, because of structure, you can work very large,\" [Albert Paley] said. \"For instance if you're doing ceramic, you can only do something that fits inside the kiln, or the same with glass, but steel you can build bridges and buildings. So with the material there's no limitation whatsoever.\" \"With any community, there's a great diversity, so this sculpture has this diversity,\" Paley said. \"There's colors and shapes that interact very much the way a community does. Plus, volunteerism, there's that sense of optimism so the piece is very exuberant, it's colorful and it expands into space and I really wanted to pick up that emotional dialogue.\" \"It's a really interesting thing to see,\" Justice said. \"It's something you don't see every day, so we're really fortunate to have it and the opportunity to really get insight into his process. With his history here in Lakeland, I think it just emphasizes the importance of the show.\"
