This is a publicity stunt from an artist who has no connection the city and therefore I'm out.
Fully in favour of the old one coming down btw but this is inauthentic, exploitative and shite (resin?)

Attitude typical of white privilege.

I really like the statue itself, irrespective of where they put it.

the artist seems to think he retains some rights over it

I just think the object is well crafted and looks good.
I don't care about the shitshow of politics, self-promotion, virtue signalling, upset racists, local council nitpicking et cetera, none of which are likely to have any effect on day to day racism.

he scanned her and 3D printed as far as I can tell
The 'craft' is minimal

The woman who originally stood on the plinth doesn't seem to mind.
Part of the craft might be the selection of an appropriate model and subsequent photography-to-resin work.

You might be surprised at how little 'craft' is involved in being a traditional bronze sculptor.
The differences between analogue and digital sculpture design are not vast.

Dumping something in a public place without permission = flytipping
Not only can the local authority remove the material in question, they'd be right to charge you for doing so

Oh I know, I'll go and relieve myelf in an alley
and then someone will come along and remove that section of wall and put it in a gallery, because they can see value in it
