BATH TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A Michigan artist will be allowed to keep his outdoor art installation of thousands of found objects that officials ruled violated an anti-junk ordinance, after an outpouring of public support. Park has agreed to build a fence on his property around the project, which features thousands of blue objects, trash and surplus items. Residents began attending township meetings, purchasing small blue rubber ducks and putting up signs to show their support of the art installation. Melissa Eggleston, a gallery owner and the chair of the Bath Public Art Committee, sold blue ducks in support of Park. Phillips, who said he doesn’t view the installation as art, fears officials will now have a difficult time enforcing the anti-junk ordinance.
