well i dont know what exactly was going through his head, but he sure got a lot of attention for it. i understand the sacrifice of the dog to make a point, but i guess the big waste is that it's the dog and not starving central american people who are getting the attention. |

on a related note--
lots of jodorowsky fans in this board, and yet nobody has complained about the abundance of dead animals in them. these are not "animal safe" movies. even jodorowsky talks about it in the commentaries. ![]() ^^dead & dying rabbits |

yes. and violin strings made of animal gut (not really cat) or what about this board's beloved electric guitars? don't they generate pollution, after all, in their manufacturing and use, hurting millions of innocent creatures in their wake? carbon emissions, toxic materials, rivers & streams, felled trees... but it's easy to ellicit knee-jerk reactions and round up a lynch mob with pictures of puppies. |

what makes you think he's counting his cash? he's an emerging artist, so he's selling his stuff at lowball prices to start with; he does installations so there isn't a lot to sell in the first place - what does he sell? the dog food he glued to the wall? the dead dog? MAYBE some photos of the event IF he's lucky... then the gallery takes its cut, sometimes up to 50% i wouldn't be surprised if he scraped by breaking even... the notoriety is about ALL he got out of this. ...now if you want to take issue with that, be my guest, but the idea that he's got wads of cash is just silly....

The same goes for Michael Haneke and Jörg Buttgereit. I was always advised by my grandmother that if I buy a rabbit at the butcher, I should always check to see that either it's head, tail or paws are still attached. It's difficult to compare it's anatomy to a cats if you're not an expert. Good call on Nitsch m1rr0r dash. |

"Counting his cash" wasn't meant to imply "wads of cash." Sorry if it looked that way but I was shooting for a summary sentence. Profitting in any way regardless of degree from the dying dog is worse than any amount of attention given to it.

ok the first thing is that this was a gallery in nicaragua and there arent only animals but also people starving around the corner. it's not like he kidnapped ome boy' dog-- and the kid who got paid for catching the dog were probably happy to be able to buy a meal (or glue to sniff) with the reward. another thing you're missing is the point that the sandinista hymn was playing backwards on the installation. a comment on ortega' 2nd term in the nicaraguan presidency? and the dog was named after a burglar who was torn to pieces by rottweilers-- in the name of property rights. i mean im not a communist, but when you have rich people surrounded by starving mases, shit is going to happen. about you and your brother, i didnt understand what you said. who did what to whom? |

Abusive art isn't new.
Another good example is Jill Greenberg's "End Times", which caused a stir when it was first exhibited. ![]() She deliberately provoked tearful outbursts from children by taking away lollipops she had just given them. Greenberg titles each piece of "art work" to depict what she says reminded her of the "helplessness and anger I feel about our current political and social situation." Read how Jill Greenberg answers to the critics who claim she abused toddlers in the name of art. June/July 2006 Art or Abuse? |

1) mang, if you separate an exhibition from it context nothing is left to discuss. 2) politics/philosohpy, how far are they really? and this exhibit was made in central america for central americans. try at least to tactfully understand before judging? avoid knee-jerk reactions. 3) oh yeah your bro-- but he was there, you see. it makes a difference. not this board. disclaimer- i recently bitched here about not being able to attend a show. oh poor me!! ps-- the "but nobody c" you quoted was a leftover from the paragraph about the guy killed by the dogs. i decided to take it out & it slipped. |

If the artist had deliberately let a dog die to do it no And as you mention painting, the reason sad fucks like this come up with stupid sensationalist ideas like this is usually because they cant paint, have little talent and thrive off of causing controversy In art, as in the media, we seem increasingly to be living in the age of the pointless celebrity where the only criteria to join this exclusive "club" seems to be to achieve some form of notoriety or outrage in the eyes of the public by some monumental act of socially unacceptable behaviour The only piece of "art" I wish to see now is this photographer tied up and made to starve to death with the denial of any form of humane intervention What I am amazed at is what sort of society are we living in where anyone could possibly come up any form of justification for unnecessary cruelty to an animal? Sickening, truly sickening |

honestly... fuck toddlers lollipops and fuck dead dogs. there are way more important things going on in the world... like, i dunno... actual people dieing, and i think people are a little more important than a domesticated animal. i can't believe this thread is still going & people are still arguing about it.

It's not justification - I've already mentioned that I think its wrong though if people can't take that in, but I'm sorry, the world would just turn out like Animal Farm-esque if you take stances like that. Its crazy to critisize it as justification just for coming up with a point or argument... But this is a dog also - I'd have no problem killing and eating it myself if I wanted to. That is not saying I condone starving it and I shouldnt have to say that. |

why has the fact that humans die every day have to do with murdering a helpless animal i eat meat, almost every day, but i still thinks that its horrid to kill in the name of art. its a shame that there are so many suffering people in this world, but why cant we have remorse for a dog that was starved to death in a gallery. so what if it was going to die on the streets, does that give the artists the right to play god and decide that it shalll recieve no more food. he could have just as well brough it to a vet, or fed it. i once was walking with this girl and a car ran over a dog, the dog got up and ran away, probably to die in the bushes, and everyone who saw it was really sad, till this shithead came and said "for humans you wouldnt cry like this, but for a dog you will?" what can i say, a dog will never cheat you, rape you, start a war, start a genocide, you could beat a dog every day and it will still be loyal to you. so yeah, i do feel remorse for a dog dying...
