\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>In another bold move, Forest City has purchased the rights to the DIA Mustang, nicknamed \u201cBlucifer.\u201d The \u201cart\u201d project has never been very popular with the Denver community, and most residents do not like the fact that the evil mustang is one of the first things to greet visitors when they come to Denver.\n\u201cI think it is just an awful piece,\u201d said Denver resident Kevin Clark. \u201cDid they think it was new age, modern, or hip? How was this piece ever okayed?\u201d Well, because of certain rules Denver has when it comes to these publicly funded art projects, the piece must stay up for at least five years before it is up for consideration to be removed. That five years has now passed, and more than likely, a petition will be made to have it removed. So, Forest City decided to step in.\n\u201cPeople that want to get rid of this thing are crazy,\u201d says Forest City President Phil Dargossi. \u201cI am somewhat of an art snob, and I know good art. This is a great piece.\u201d Dargossi said that before people had a chance to petition it out and destroy it, he thought he would get it in the hands of a community that really appreciates art. \u201cStapleton is absolutely an artsy community, and will love having this piece so close to the town center,\u201d said Dargossi.\nBlucifer will replace the area that had been taken by the big Christmas tree near the fountains. \u201cThis is a very exciting move for Forest City,\u201d said Forest City Spokesperson Janelle Ayers. \u201cI mean great art is hard to find, but now, all you need to do is follow the glowing, freaky eyes.\u201d Residents are meeting the new project with mixed reviews. \u201cI didn\u2019t like it 15 miles away from me,\u201d said Laura Smyth. \u201cWhy would I like it 10 blocks from me? Resident Ken Lair disagrees. \u201cThe kids are really going to think this is cool,\u201d said Lair. \u201cAnd think of all the weird folk stories we will be able to scare our kids with. Stay out too late, and Blucifer will come and get you.\u201d\nBlucifer is no longer a public art project and is owned by Forest City, and therefore not subject to removal by petition.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
