Bronze Orr leaps onto the ice forever

Not sure if you seen Stephen Harris's article about this story - "Mayor Menino slips during Bobby Orr ceremony." Much to the dismay of many, it was only about his ongoing slips of the tongue and not an actual slip and fall down a staircase for all the mean and vindictive things he had done to people over his reign that the public never sees.

...it's abstract impressionism. Perhaps we could have flown Damien in from London to interpret Bobby Orr's leap in a similar vein as The Physical Impossibility of Death in The Mind of Someone Living. Perhaps someone could channel Leigh Bowery and represent the leap with glitter-flaked faces and Busby Berkeley poses? Perhaps a Bruce Nauman clown homage? Ah, I know, a suspended wave of Richard Serra sheet metal representing not only the lightness of the leap, but the the piffle that is organized sport.

Or perhaps, just sometimes, a literal physical representation of an actual occurrence does the job just as well. Back to the foundry...

I second the Russell statue. Maybe placed next to Jim Rice Field, around from Slades that #6 owned for a time in the 70's?
