“In 2007, the ‘artist’ Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, took a dog from the street, tied him to a rope in an art gallery, and starved him to death.
For several days, the ‘artist’ and the visitors of the exhibition have watched emotionless the shameful ‘masterpiece’ based on the dog’s agony, until eventually he died.”
Its a sad sad day for animal lovers and pretentious art idiots everywhere. Im not sure what is more sad in fact, that this poor animal died as an art exhibit, or that these human beings justified the action in the first place.
I know I know. Reaction is the point, did it make you feel something then its art, blah blah blah. It a tired, lame, lazy, and disgustingly self important argument for an artist to make, let alone incredibly unintelligent. Yeah no shit watching something die will illicit a feeling.
And it doesnt stop there. The so-called artist has been invited to re-execute his exhibit for the Central American Biennial of 2008. You can help stop this disgusting action by quickly signing a petition below.

First post, woot!
Yes. And i do feel both remarkably self righteous and accomplished as a blogger all at the same time.
“re-excute his exhibit”
Now that is a pun and a .5!
