Two men have been caught in the act of cutting down one of
the famous Osborne bulls with the intention of selling the metal for scrap. The
incident occurred near Alicante, and the prosecutor is asking for a five month
sentence.
The Osborne bulls, of which there are about 90, are huge,
made from galvanised steel sheeting supported on a scaffold. The total weight
of these beasts is around 4,000 kilos. They can be seen for miles and have
state protection.
A wonderful new work of art has appeared in Jerez. It is a
12 metre high photograph of Manuel Moneo, a famous local flamenco singer, which
occupies the wall of an old (I think Domecq) bodega in Jerez. The artist is Juan Carlos Toro,
and the work, which is to be seen in the Plaza del Cristo de la Expiracion, is
titled “Presences”. It certainly has presence, and this sort of work is popping
up in abandoned spaces in Jerez.
