Something disturbing at Vollmer Complex

When I was at the Vollmer Complex tonight for my children's swim lessons I walked by what was displayed as art. There are three installations using dead animals as various body parts. One looked like a person standing wearing a hoodie. My son thought it was a zombie for Halloween. After looking closer the hoodie was filled with stuffed baby ducks. There is a time and a place. I called the town only to be told they would pass on my concerns to the Art Gallery of Windsor but they would most likely not remove these pieces because they have an agreement. The young people working did not feel comfortable. There is a comment page you could fill out which I did. I was told these thing will be there until January and they have plans to move around. There is even one placed next to the walking track which people pay to use. Something needs to be done NOW to permanetly remove them from this facility. There is no educational value only shock value which no one is looking for at a family friendly facility. If you are at Vollmer ask to sign the comment page and please call the Lasalle electives to voice your displeasure.
