Found this for all who were interested......hope you don't mind Jon.

The sculpture is called Bottle of Notes

What is Bottle of Notes?
Claes Oldenberg and Coosje van Bruggen 1993

â€Â¢ The Bottle of Notes is a sculpture made for mima Centre Square by Claes Oldenberg and Coosje van Bruggen. It was completed in 1993.

â€Â¢ The Bottle of Notes is 30 x 16 x 10 ft (9.1 x 4.9 x 3.1 m),
roughly the same height as 28 lemonade bottles stacked top to bottom.

â€Â¢ The Bottle of Notes took 5 years to build and was based on drawings and a smaller sculpture that Claes Oldenburg produced using a plastic bottle and paper.

â€Â¢ Bottle of Notes is made of two steel bottle shapes made up of words. The words were created using giant stencils, enlarged from Claes Oldenberg’s original design. The Bottle of Notes was created by steel works in Teesside.

â€Â¢ The inner bottle is painted blue and includes a line from Coosje van Bruggen's poems based on a childhood impression of Dutch landscape: ‘I like to remember seagulls in full flight gliding over a ring of canals’.

â€Â¢ The outer bottle is painted white and includes a line from Captain Cook’s journals. (Captain Cook is an explorer who travelled the South Pacific Sea in the 1700s. Captain Cook was born in Marton, near to Middlesbrough in 1728). ‘we had every advantage we could desire in observing the whole of the passage of the Planet Venus over the Sun’s disc’.

I really like all of the colors and interesting people to look at in this one. This would be a neat picture to have a hidden element for us to find... similar to "Where's Waldo?" :)

Very cool subject. At first glance it looks like the people in front of it were posing on purpose; even though they're doing two very different things, their body shapes seem to match.
