By of the Journal Sentinel The public sculpture by internationally recognized artist Jaume Plensa was removed from Shorewood's Atwater Park Saturday after a New Jersey blogger accused the artist of embedding anti-Semitic slurs within what are supposed to be a random spill of steel letters. Village of Shorewood manager Chris Swartz said Friday that the artwork, "Spillover II," would be removed soon, within a 30-day period, and that the offending words would be "repaired." The blogger, Matt Sweetwood, spotted to be hateful messages in the sculpture, a crouching figure fashioned from capital letters, including "CHEAP JEW." The words appeared in a jagged sequence. | Nov. 14, 2015 2:12...
