The fine line between art and bewildered. We've got another double feature of odd news that proves that beauty truly is in the eye of the frustrated beholder. From questionable municipal investments to bizarre retail redesigns, things are getting a little weird. And we're here for it. Expanding the definition of a masterpiece, We take a trip up north to see how one city's attempt at enriching the public landscape has left taxpayers feeling a bit weighed down by the results. Then, we head back to the Pacific Northwest, where a familiar corner shop has been totally reimagined into a showcase of beautifully frustrating concepts. It turns out that whether you're dealing with massive outdoor installations or twisted everyday objects, the definition of a masterpiece is highly subjective. These two stories perfectly illustrate how someone's creative vision can become someone else's daily headache. Ready for The Grand Tour? If you're looking for a good laugh about these civic and commercial misadventures, you'll definitely want to hear how inconvenient art rocks the boat in both locations.
