Think of the colour orange. What do you see? Road maintenance workers. A mischievous ginger haired child. Florida. At the Liberty Grand this weekend there’ll be plenty of orange, like Natalia Laluque's “Children are Waiting” as pictured. The Orange Competition of the Artist Project will present twelve shortlisted pieces of art inspired by the colour, with the winner gaining $500. But why did they pick this underdog of shades? Is it fresh and contemporary? Or just a marketing ploy to reinforce the Artist Project’s orange shaded branding?
Orange is so arbitrary. Will next year be the best art piece inspired by a man eating a sandwich? Just give the award to the best piece of art, period.

Knock knock. Who’s there? Orange. Orange who? Orange you glad I’m not a banana? Well, yes, orange is definitely a better theme than banana.

I protest. Banana is a fab theme. So many ripe (tee hee) possibilities for incorporating phallic symbolism and Warhol homages.
