All of you previous posters are a bunch of inflated terds. This guy is right on the money. I am an artist fo a living nd even I am insulted by the fact that he tried to pull this off as art. If art means doing anything toget attention then yes it is art.
There is context for every piece of art. if a gallery in switzerland wants to display something, it probably means there is a contextual background for the making of the piece, both within art history and the artsts career. just youtube some of his other work. treefucker for example. He makes really funny, sublime and surreal sculptures and performances. you said it yourself, you've never seen his art, so maybe hold of your opinions for something you actually know about, trashy politics?
Art is just another word for fun, joy, entertainment. Its the spoiled rich upper class that wants to see their kind of entertainment to be seperated from the middle and lower class' kind of fun. Therefore the different labels.
Other then that art serves the very same purpose as sitcoms or Disney World. And I guess a flying turd is very entertaining to watch.
for a viewer, good art is art that speaks to the viewer. For a buyer, good art is something that has retail value and/or is controversial.
For an artist, good art is what keeps you from living under a bridge in a cardboard box.
It is very subjective. I see crap in museums that I was like, what is this, it looks like a preschooler threw a tantrum with a bottle of mustard. But right next to me is some student going hmmmmmm how profound.
Oh man, I just saw Steven Colbert do a "Threat Down" on this. There are still tears running down my face, cause I couldn't stop laughing. Had to see if there's any other news on that. And apparently there are. LOL
"Artist's shit" is a work of art by the Italian artist Piero Manzoni.
In 1961, he collected his own feces in 90 numbered cans. He labelled them "100% pure artist's shit" in Italian, English, French and German, and sold them. Their current estimated value is EUR30,500 each (US$25,000--35,000).
"Artist's shit" questions the meaning of art as both cultural and consumer objects by inviting the viewer to confront a system that venerates cans of shit as works of art.
Art is simply our ability to create. We celebrate this innate quality which we're all capable of. Art doesn't have to be pretty, it doesn't have to ugly... It doesn't even have to be interesting. It's entirely up to the creative person to decide wether or not he or she accomplished what was sought after in creating their piece. The "what is art" question is a marketing question and always has been. But it tells nothing of the creative behind the work.
You should see his chocolate Santa holding a butt plug. I think they were like 80 bucks each or something. There's a video on YouTube about it. He turned a gallery into this space to make these chocolate Santas with butt plugs. Yum!
I'm an art student and totally agree! Of course at itself is subjective, but creating an inflatable dog turd doesn't require creativity or skill, therefore I wouldn't say it's art. LOL
It is symbolic of the Bush Adminstration. That it is inflatable is a reflection of the enormous amount of hot air and lies that constitute the worst presidency in our history
The artist knew it would explode and spread shit all over which in itself symbolizes the
damage done to our country and world by a disgusting little rich boy with a silver spoon stuck so far down his throat that the tip is poking out of his ass.
The shit blowing into houses represents talk radio pundits.
A lot of these people use words to make people believe that the art is art. They talk about what the "artist means" or "what the artist is saying", etc. They have a right to stay in their own world and make thier art, as long as I don't have to pay for it.
It's not art, but I bet more people would go see the giant dog turds than would go see some of that other so called "modern" art. It is ridiculous. I have personally seen modern art selling for hundreds of dollars that was nothing more than a few dots or lines on a piece of canvass! This is the biggest scam since televangelists.
Really just shows what we are becoming.Oh my look over there its a hubcap on the road.Mom i think i am going to grab it,and put it in the frame so the boys from town can come and see it. I think we are getting more weird than god intended.Actually, probably not.He new stuff like this would happen.
