"Artist"? This person needs a beating. WTF
 

Check this crap out! :mad:
An "artist", chained up a dog in a gallery, starved to death to let it die. Hundreds of people came to see it every day. Not one person thought to rescue this poor dog. Another example of what sick ba$tards we have in the world.:mad:

I'm not even going to watch the video, but a slow torturous death would be too good.

Vinny,

Lets take the same chain and collar and chain the jerk up to it for a month or three. See how he likes it?!

Have no sense of humor for crap like this.

it's george bush's fault for sending our artists into this senseless iraq war.

I looked into this via the internets available and have concluded that the reporting of the dog dying from this "exhibit" is inconclusive. I don't know what to believe but the exhibit was supposed to be about the many stray dogs that die everyday within that country. And also about a security gaurd that was killed by a pack of strays.

Certain news reports say the dog was only tied up for around 3 hours and then was let go or ran away back into the streets.

Pictures were took and it was implied by the artist and gallery that it died there after performing for weeks to the gallery visitors.

I actually don't believe any patron of a gallery would let this happen, therefore I believe this to be fake and to stir controversy and awareness of the artists statements.

In that case, good job!

I would beat his a$$ just for 'thinking' this would be art.

We can then call his blood trail 'art'.
Rika

I cannot believe that this is true. The Snopes page raises a lot of questions.

It makes an effective story, though, further to Roman's comment.

Any publicity is good publicity right?

Sick.

so where are the art lovers now to tell me that it's my fault that i don't understand art, that i'm just not educated enough in the world of art to "get it"

if that guy get's near me, i'll make an art work too,
i'll call it "chop-chop high pitch voice from now on"

Well, hopefully its not true. I hate to think someone would actually do this. But then again it wouldnt suprise me in the least...

Who told that guy that it was OK to make art that would piss me off?

Im... Im outraged.

even if the dog was not starved, it still was tied up on a cold floor just for viewing pleasure

not rug to sleep on, no water bowl, no food during opening hours... none of that

Anyone can easily discount stray animals walking freely in the streets, but can you look one in the eye with potential food used for display purposes?

Given the possibility that the dog lived, Id say its quite a statement being made, one thats impossible not to have a reaction to. That to me is good art.

If this really happened, I can't imagine it not going on without thousands of PETA protesters and hundreds of rescue attempts.

In the absence of that, it makes me think that it was a story INVENTED by PETA to drum up popular support for something to come...

This is exactly what the Snopes piece stated as the point of the exhibit.

What do we as people do when no one is watching vs. what we do when we are under the spotlight?

How many stray animals have you walked past? The right thing to do is to feel compassion and a desire to take action to help the exhibit dog, but do "we" share the same compassion and desire to help when the animal is among us on the streets?

FWIW.

Best,

Kurt

so lets chain him..
we can then all stand about & feel for the poor criminals rotting away in prison.
see, everyone feels better already.

Rika

Art bites man, I like it.

Best,

Kurt

I like the idea of chopping him up and feeding his body parts to a bunch of strays and dogs in the pound.
