It's the latest in a long line of attacks on Little Mermaid statue

The Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, one of Denmark's most famous landmarks, has been vandalized yet again, this time with the Russian flag. Authorities said Thursday that the white, blue, and red stripes of the Russian flag were painted on the stone the statue sits on, Reuters reports. Police said the vandalism was discovered early Thursday. "We are of course launching an investigation to find out who did it and when and how it happened," a police spokesman said, per Jyllands-Posten.

Denmark, like other European nations, has strongly criticized Russia's war against Ukraine. The small statue, a tribute to the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, sits off a waterfront promenade in the Danish capital. It has been vandalized many times since it was installed 110 years ago, AFP reports. It has been decapitated twice and was knocked off its base with explosives in 2003. In 2017, it was doused in red paint in a protest against whale hunting. In 2020, during worldwide protests after the death of George Floyd, the words "racist fish" were painted on the base, though Andersen scholars said they weren't aware of any racist elements in the fairy tale.

Ben O’Shea: Mandurah giants arson proves WA can’t have nice things.

Ben O'SheaPerthNow

Topics

There was a time when I would have seen the senseless burning of Thomas Dambo’s Giant sculpture and thought, “This is why the Mandurah region can’t have nice things”.

The Danish artist has been left devastated by the disgusting act of vandalism, which reduced the giant, wooden troll sculpture known as Vivi Cirklestone to little more than a pile of charcoal at Coodanup Foreshore Reserve.

You can bet the majority of metro dwellers saw the news and immediately wondered why you’d put world-class public art there in the first place.

After all, the prevailing cliche around the local youths is that you’re more likely to find their heads in a bag of spray paint fumes than a book.

Much to the dismay of their folks, who hoped the kids would stay out of trouble long enough to one day work in the family’s carport meth lab.

Peddling such stereotypes certainly helps parents in the Golden Triangle feel better about the designer drug use of their own kids, which is easily ignored as long as you don’t overhear the neighbours talking about it in the check-out line at the Boatshed.

I’ve been just as guilty of making jokes at Mandurah and Rockingham’s expense in the past, so, people in glass houses and all that stuff, but these days I have a better appreciation of what makes the region such a great place to live.

And I’m not talking about the Costco that just opened up the road in Kwinana, although that definitely doesn’t hurt.

Whether you’re a young-un or senior citizen, the region boasts plenty to keep you entertained, and the wonderful communities scattered throughout the region have far greater neighbourhood spirit than you’ll find in the leafy western suburbs.

Which, of course, is exactly what the WA arts organisation FORM and the McGowan Government hoped to highlight by installing five of Dambo’s giant sculptures there in the first place.

They could’ve defaulted to a more obvious location – and, admittedly, seeing the Giants situated in Kings Park would be iconic – but there’s an obligation to ensure public art escapes the metro area.

It should be something all West Aussies can enjoy, and, similarly, the destruction of Dambo’s Vivi is something all West Aussies must feel responsible for.

Because, let’s be honest, we’re not the most cultured bunch.

Consider the only two WA art stories that have made national news this year: the vandalism of Dambo’s piece, and the City of Joondaulp art prize being won by a hand-beaded interpretation of a hot chook in a bag.

So, while it’s easy to look at Vivi’s charred remains and blame local no-goodniks, there needs to be a little introspection about our society as a whole.

For example, how many families will go to Adventure World during the school holidays and not for a second think of taking the kids to the Art Gallery or WA Museum Boola Bardip?

Culture is what we make it, and, until we actually want to make it something more than the hi-viz, Bush Chook wasteland it is now, maybe WA doesn’t deserve to have nice things.

Register and have your say.

New Update

Federal Police have been called to investigate a case of vandalism at Federal Minister Madeleine King's office in Rockingham, where a beloved environmental mural was defaced. This act of protest against King's support for gas projects, including Woodside's controversial Scarborough gas project, reflects the ongoing tension between environmental activists and proponents of fossil fuel development.

Background of the Incident

On a quiet Tuesday night, the walls of Minister Madeleine King's electoral office in Rockingham were graffitied with a message criticizing her environmental policies. The defaced mural, which depicted a serene underwater scene, was targeted by activists opposing King's advocacy for gas as a transitional energy source. This act of vandalism comes amidst heightened scrutiny of Woodside's $19 billion Scarborough gas project and its potential environmental impact, particularly on the unique natural environment of Rockingham and surrounding areas.

The Response from Minister King and the Community

Advertisment

Minister King, addressing the incident, emphasized the right to protest but condemned intimidation and harassment. She highlighted the irony of the situation, where a mural celebrating Rockingham's natural beauty was destroyed by those claiming to protect the environment. The community's reaction has been mixed, with many lamenting the loss of a cherished artwork and others understanding the motivations behind the protest. The incident has sparked a broader conversation about the balance between environmental activism and community values.

Implications for Future Environmental Advocacy

The vandalism of Minister King's office mural represents a collision between environmental advocacy and the push for continued fossil fuel development in Australia. It raises questions about the methods of protest and their effectiveness in bringing about change. As Australia grapples with the transition to renewable energy, incidents like these underscore the passionate and sometimes conflicting viewpoints of those involved. The outcome of this investigation may set precedents for how environmental protests are conducted and managed, influencing both policy and public opinion.

This incident serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities surrounding environmental advocacy in the face of industrial development. As the community reflects on the vandalism and its broader implications, the dialogue around environmental protection, energy transition, and respectful advocacy continues to evolve. The path forward will require balancing diverse perspectives to achieve sustainable outcomes for both the environment and the economy.

The statue's pedestal was painted with the Russian tricolor on Thursday night, prompting a police investigation.

The monument has been vandalized multiple times since 1964, with various incidents of damage and defacement.

The statue's head was stolen in 1964 and 1998, and its hand was cut off in 1984, highlighting the statue's vulnerability to vandalism.

The statue was blown up in 2003, and it was also painted or signed many times, including in 2020.

Residents of Copenhagen dug up the street Puscher Street in the central commune of Christiania, where for many years there was a drug trade, reports TV2 Kosmopol.
The word "pusher" in jargon means a petty drug dealer.
Work began on the morning of April 6, around 10: 00 local time (11: 00 MSK).
The crowd took shovels and began to lift the stones with which the street was paved.
In the photo, which showed the channel, it is clear that the activists dug up all the stones and stacked them in a pile to a dead end.
Before that, the street was completely cleared of stalls.
Copenhagen Mayor Sophie Hastorp Andersen and Justice Minister Peter Hummelgor joined the rally and a large number of police officers were present.

As noted by Berlingske, this is one of the multiple attempts of the authorities to finally close the street.
In an interview with TV2, Hastorp Andersen expressed confidence that this time the hashish trade will be stopped completely.
“We looked each other in the eye and everyone agreed that enough was enough.
We worked very closely together and found solutions.
This time the difference is that we stand together, ” she said.
The Danish government has confirmed that it regards the closure as final.
The deputy inspector of the local police, Simon Hansen, in charge of monitoring the operational situation in the commune, in turn, said that the police will patrol the area in the next few days.
In January, Denmark ’ s justice minister vowed to shut down Pusher Street after Christiania ’ s residents appealed to the government.
He did not give an exact date, but assured that this will happen within six months.
Authorities in other districts did not rule out that drug traffickers would reorient themselves to them after the closure of Pusher Street.
Such concerns were expressed, in particular, by the head of the urban district of Nørrebro in the north-western part of Copenhagen, Mogens Petersen, writes Berlingske.

The Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, one of Denmark's most famous landmarks, has been vandalized yet again, this time with the Russian flag. Authorities said Thursday that the white, blue, and red stripes of the Russian flag were painted on the stone the statue sits on, Reuters reports. Police said the vandalism was discovered early Thursday. "We are of course launching an investigation to find out who did it and when and how it happened," a police spokesman said, per Jyllands-Posten.

Denmark, like other European nations, has strongly criticized Russia's war against Ukraine. The small statue, a tribute to the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, sits off a waterfront promenade in the Danish capital. It has been vandalized many times since it was installed 110 years ago, AFP reports. It has been decapitated twice and was knocked off its base with explosives in 2003. In 2017, it was doused in red paint in a protest against whale hunting. In 2020, during worldwide protests after the death of George Floyd, the words "racist fish" were painted on the base, though Andersen scholars said they weren't aware of any racist elements in the fairy tale.

The 175-kilogram Little Mermaid is a work by sculptor Edvard Eriksen, inspired by the Danish poet and writer Hans Christian Andersen ’ s 1837 fairy tale of the same name.
The statue, which sits next to a relatively secluded waterfront walkway, has been vandalized several times over the years, including two burglaries of its head in 1964 and 1998, and a severed arm in 1984. In 2003, the statue was blown loose with explosives and fell into the bay.
It has also been graffitied and painted several times, most recently in 2020 with the words “racist fish. ”

Despite the repeated incidents of vandalism, the Danish authorities have not specified what security measures are in place to protect the statue.

Clear warning signs have been installed around the sculpture to prevent vandalism, but it is unclear how effective these measures have been.

Content: Russian Flag Painted on Copenhagen's Most Famous Landmark

It's the latest in a long line of attacks on Little Mermaid statue

The Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, one of Denmark's most famous landmarks, has been vandalized yet again, this time with the Russian flag. Authorities said Thursday that the white, blue, and red stripes of the Russian flag were painted on the stone the statue sits on, Reuters reports. Police said the vandalism was discovered early Thursday. "We are of course launching an investigation to find out who did it and when and how it happened," a police spokesman said, per Jyllands-Posten.

Denmark, like other European nations, has strongly criticized Russia's war against Ukraine. The small statue, a tribute to the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, sits off a waterfront promenade in the Danish capital. It has been vandalized many times since it was installed 110 years ago, AFP reports. It has been decapitated twice and was knocked off its base with explosives in 2003. In 2017, it was doused in red paint in a protest against whale hunting. In 2020, during worldwide protests after the death of George Floyd, the words "racist fish" were painted on the base, though Andersen scholars said they weren't aware of any racist elements in the fairy tale.

The motivations behind the vandalism incidents are complex and varied, but are often linked to political and social issues, such as the Ukrainian conflict and racism.

The identities of the perpetrators are often unknown, and the investigations into the incidents are ongoing.

The repeated vandalism of the Little Mermaid statue has sparked outrage and concern among Copenhagen residents and authorities, who are working to protect the statue and prevent future incidents.

The statue's location and accessibility are thought to be contributing factors to the repeated damages, as it is located on a waterfront walkway and is easily accessible to tourists.

The fact that tourists can easily access the statue and take pictures with it contributes to the repeated damages, as some tourists disregard warning signs and climb the pedestal to touch or kiss the statue.

To manage these factors and prevent future incidents, it is essential to find a balance between accessibility and protection of the statue, possibly by increasing security measures or educating tourists about the importance of preserving cultural heritage.

The role of tourism in contributing to the repeated damages to the Little Mermaid statue is significant, as tourists' behavior and actions are often the cause of the damages.

The accessibility of the statue to tourists is also a contributing factor, as it allows people to easily access and interact with the statue, sometimes in a harmful way.

To prevent future incidents, it is crucial to manage tourism and accessibility in a way that preserves the statue and its cultural significance, while still allowing people to appreciate and enjoy it.

The Little Mermaid statue remains a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of Copenhagen's cultural heritage, despite the repeated vandalism incidents.

The statue's cultural and historical significance makes its protection and preservation a priority for the Danish authorities and the local community.

The story behind each incident of vandalism on the Little Mermaid statue is unique and complex, reflecting a range of motivations and circumstances.

The incidents have been documented and investigated by the authorities, but the perpetrators' identities and motivations are not always known.

The Little Mermaid statue is a significant cultural and historical landmark in Copenhagen, and its protection and preservation are important for the city's heritage.

Conservation efforts for monuments after vandalism are crucial, and experts believe that special anti-vandal coatings do not always save monuments.

Rituals on graves and lost gilding.
St. Petersburg museum workers about the growth of vandalism
1274
Valentin Egorshin / Fontanka.ru
The Museum of Urban Sculpture is sounding the alarm: in St. Petersburg, the level of vandalism is growing.
Experts ask citizens and tourists to save the budget money and stop picking priests sphinxes.
And yet not to remove the gilding from the monuments, because to sell it still will not work.
The sphinxes from the Egyptian bridge were returned from restoration only in December 2022.
The restoration work lasted more than three months.
The sculptures were cleaned, treated from corrosion, gilded parts and painted in the color of oxidized bronze.
All the splendor cost almost 5 million rubles.
For restoration, by the way, the price is not surprising.
As Nadezhda Efremova, a senior researcher at the Museum of Urban Sculpture and curator of the collection of monuments, explained to Fontanka, in such matters, in any case, we are talking about millions.
Repeat the whole process was planned no earlier than ten years later, but in June, damage was noticed on one of the sphinxes.
The cover moved away from the sculpture exactly near the fifth point.
The Museum of Urban Sculpture concluded that the character of the chip is mechanical: “We will not take it to say what exactly they (damage. – Approx. ed.) were inflicted.
A shoe, a hand, anything.
Unfortunately, the pedestals are low, there is a lot of transport and people there.
These sphinxes are among the most “affected. ”
Share
The victim was promised to patch up before the end of the summer - this is the deadline for the end of the restoration season.
For this, you will most likely have to request additional funding.
As it usually happens in state organizations, the budget in the Museum of Urban Sculpture is drawn up immediately for a year in advance.
The hole on the cover of the monument, as the photographer of “Fontanka ” was convinced, meanwhile, is expanding.
By August, it will certainly increase in size.
By the way, the neighbor of the sphinx on the other bank of the Fontanka also had time to suffer: he had chips closer to his back.
Share
“By the middle of this year, we are almost at the point of just 2022 in terms of the number of acts of vandalism.
Last year there were 32 of them, this year there are already 22, ” the press service of the museum says.
The statistics included cases with graffiti, traces of paint, scratches and other damage to the paint layer.
The curator of the collection Nadezhda Efremova laments that in St. Petersburg there is no longer that reverent attitude to the monuments, which helped to preserve them to the present day: “The war began on June 22 [1941], and on June 25 the museum has already received a directive on the urgent shelter of monuments in the city.
All employees of the museum received instructions where to go to get the necessary building materials.
And the Bronze Horseman?
Since the time of Alexander I, the legend has been preserved that as long as he stands in his place, no enemy soldiers will enter the city.
During the historical excursion, the employee recalls Klodt ’ s horses on the Anichkov Bridge: “For many citizens, the end of the war was marked by the fact that on June 2, 1945, the horses returned to the Anichkov Bridge.
Then people finally realized that the war was over. ”
Share
In December 2022, not only the sphinxes from the Egyptian bridge were returned from the restoration, but also the lions that stand on the Admiralty Embankment.
From the side of this can not be seen, but the back of one of them after six months has already been pierced.
“They give the impression of such powerful lions, but in fact they are very fragile.
Inside the lions are hollow and have no supports.
Pushed copper, from which they are made, in thickness from 3 to 5 millimeters.
Almost like a piece of paper, ” explains Nadezhda Efremova.
Share
The damage was discovered after the "Scarlet Sails".
Experts believe that the lion could have been pierced by accident.
For example, a bottle or some other object.
But graffiti, for example, can not be written off on the will of chance.
Most often, inscriptions appear on pedestals that are easy to reach.
Special anti-vandal coatings do not always save: the matter is in the characteristics of the material.
The pedestal of the same Klodt horses is made of forged granite, which is distinguished by small notches.
As a result, the paint is clogged in the pores of the stone and can be removed only with a special compressor and after many hours of work.
It is no coincidence that the disappearance of gold.
According to experts, it is cleaned in the hope of reselling.
Disappointment awaits the vandals immediately: “Gold leaf is thinner than a human hair.
It turns into chips, rubbish.
For what?
Completely senseless act.
The naked surface is not protected, so the monument is again waiting for restoration.
We don't have much choice.
We have to do something — or watch the monuments being destroyed before our eyes. ”
A separate pain of museum workers is rubbing the protruding parts of the sculptures “for luck ”.
Rubbed to shine noses and shoes are both thinning of the metal, and the loss of author ’ s study.
The curator of the collection explains that such a sign eventually leads to the destruction of monuments: “The most reliable protection of metal is natural patina (a coating that is formed under the influence of the natural environment and is able to protect the author ’ s metal. – Approx. ed.).
When it is removed, acid rain, guano, and other contaminants fall on this bright area.
And the metal itself can not protect itself, the surface begins to corrode, corrosion processes develop. ”
Such monuments are also restored, but on the sculptures especially beloved by tourists, the artificial patina can disappear in a few hours.
Share
Rubbed for luck sculptures are found even in protected areas.
For example, in the Necropolis of Masters of Arts, which is also part of the Museum of Urban Sculpture.
Especially visitors love the leg of an angel at the burial of Pyotr Tchaikovsky.
Head of the department of memorial sculpture Daria Zaleshina says that rubbing the leg began only in 2019.
This is probably due to a new urban legend.
Share
Fans of mysticism here in general and pulls: the jewelry on some tombstone thrown, the photo with burned eyes will leave.
As the guardian of the necropolis suggests, all these artifacts are associated with certain rituals.
The trend for magic emerged after the series “Battle of psychics ”, filmed in the museum secretly.
However, the findings, although terrible, do not harm the exhibits.
At least nothing needs to be restored.

Heritage Panel shoots down MCC’s Fountain Circle plan

February 8, 2023

Elgin Fountain to be restored instead of beautification project worth Rs. 1.20 crore

Mysore/Mysuru: A meeting of the Heritage Conservation Sub-Committee was held at the Department of Archaeology, Museums and Heritage in the Exhibition Grounds premises yesterday that was chaired by Deputy Commissioner Dr. K.V. Rajendra where a wide range of topics came up for discussion.

Prominent among them was the issue of MCC taking up the beautification of the heritage Fountain Circle at the entrance of Mysuru city from the Bengaluru side. The meeting directed the MCC to drop the beautification project and instead spend money to conserve the heritage structure.

The Committee members told the DC that this artistically designed fountain located at the Circle is one of the oldest fountains in Mysuru city and is of huge historic importance. It was initially erected at the present K.R. Circle and was called the Elgin Fountain.

The fountain was erected in honour of visit of Lord Elgin, the Viceroy to Mysuru on November 20, 1895, to console the royal family on the bereavement of Maharaja Chamaraja Wadiyar on Dec. 28, 1895, Prof. N.S. Rangaraju, retired Professor of Ancient History and Archaeology, Mysore University, told the DC.

“The fountain was shifted from there to the present Dhanvanthri Road Circle where Dewan’s Road meets after the statue of Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar was installed at K.R. Circle. The fountain was again shifted from there to the present place on the Bengaluru-Mysuru Road and was named ‘Rajendra Prasad Circle’ to mark the maiden visit of Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the first President of India,”                                          Prof. Rangaraju explained.

The MCC is planning to beautify this Circle at an estimated cost of Rs. 1.20 crore. The Heritage Committee expressed their concern over the MCC move and suggested that the Circle should be conserved for future generations.

Responding to the demand, DC Dr. Rajendra asked the MCC to drop the proposal for the beautification of the Fountain Circle and instead conserve it as-is and preserve its heritage value.

Maharani Statue at Millennium Circle

The Committee members also suggested the installation of a statue of Maharani Kempananjammani Vani Vilasa Sannidhana at Millennium Circle (LIC Circle) in Bannimantap. Maharani Kempananjammani Vani Vilasa Sannidhana is the wife of Maharaja Chamarajendra Wadiyar X and the mother of Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar.

The members felt that the statue will be a befitting tribute to the visionary Maharani who initiated several welfare measures including the construction of Victoria Hospital in Bengaluru, the present Mysore Palace and the Shivanasamudra Hydroelectric Power Project.

It may be mentioned here that in 2018, the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA), under the Chairmanship of D. Dhruvakumar wanted to install the statue of the queen in the Millennium Circle but the project did not see the light of day. The MUDA had even prepared a Detailed Project Report (DPR) on this.

The DC asked the MCC to take the DPR from MUDA and prepare another project proposal as per the suggestions discussed at the meeting. Prof. Rangaraju suggested that sculptor Arun Yogiraj, who sculpted the Adi Shankaracharya statue at Kedarnath and the statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose at India Gate in New Delhi, should be given the task of sculpting the Maharani’s statue.

After the meeting, the DC, the members of the Conservation Sub-Committee and officials visited the Wellington House on Irwin Road near Sub-Urban Bus Stand which houses the Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya (IGRMS). The Wellington House is undergoing restoration and the works have been taken up by the Department of Archaeology and Museums.

The DC was told that the restoration works are being taken up following all the guidelines of heritage conservation and this method must be followed while restoring all the other heritage buildings in the future.

Commissioner of Department of Archaeology, Museums and Heritage Devaraju, Deputy Director Manjula, MUDA Commissioner G.T. Dinesh Kumar, retired SJCE Principal and former VTU Dean Prof. Syed Shakeeb Ur Rahman, officers and engineers were present.

The statue's creator, Edvard Eriksen, was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's 1837 fairy tale when designing the statue.

Despite the repeated vandalism incidents, the Little Mermaid statue remains a popular tourist destination and a significant cultural landmark in Copenhagen.

The vandalism incidents have sparked outrage among locals and tourists, with authorities taking measures to protect the statue, although the specific measures are not specified in the given documents.
