Full story

The above link is pretty biased (and rightfully so) but It looks like English/US news pages haven't picked up the story yet. Basically a guy chained a a dog in an art gallery and let him there without any food or water. Guess what, after 2 days the dog died.

Mr. Vergas claims that his work revealed people's hypocrisy as no one cares about dying dogs on the street.



This is just so wrong. I'd really, really, really like to punch that guy.



Oh yeah, if you want to let me continue ruin your morning/day you can click here to see a video of a guy getting killed when security workers at canadian airport used teasers on him after he was frustrated because of being there for 10 hours and not being able to find any information about what is going on.

Maybe starting a charity for stray dogs or distributing pamphlets raising awareness about the issue would have been too much like effort, huh, Mr Vergas?

Twat.

Rubbish, and illegal in England at least.

Cunt, CRAP

I can understand to a degree, in his country dogs are treated like shit and left to die all the time. Still it is a shitty way to make a point. Asshole.

the key part is, according to the blog, he told people not to feed it.

if he wanted to make a point, he would've let people bring it food and water and then said "see, you wouldn't let this dog die in this gallery, you shouldn't let the strays die either"

instead he MURDERED A DOG.

pulling a michael vick, that.


edit: also, that means he didn't LET a dog starve... he MADE SURE a dog starved. that's called murder.

WTF

And nobody lifted a finger to help? public / gallery staff? Why, because this douchebag says it's 'art'.

Are people too fightened to question artists' concepts for fear that they'll be ridiculed for not getting it straight off?

Fucking emperors new clothes taken to another level.

There is a lot I like about art and the arts, but there is just too much douche involved undermining artisitic credibility.

get that guy some bells and a hat, because he's a clown.

that kind of art only appeals to rich people. he's a fucking court jester.

Well, I think art is important so...













Okay, that's a rather black joke - I like doggies. I don't like shite conceptual art projects.

actually, "murder" is the unlawful killing of a PERSON. you can't murder an animal. at least legally.

This isn't art. This is some pseudush twat contriving to create a spunkstorm of controversy, which he's pretty much achieved. There's precious little (beyond the petitions calling for him to be castrated) on the interweb about him. Artist? I think not.

Are we sure that this isn't just a silly hoax?
