People like this need to find a real job in the real world instead of collecting trash and other crap and calling it art.

I wonder what good do these programs serve a country? All that happens is that werid people like this take advantage of it and do this sort of thing and try to call it art.

Junk like this is why I don't believe public money should be spent on pop art. I'm all for spending public money to paint murals, build statues, and what not but only if they are the type which isn't to far out there. The National Endowment for the Arts here in the US just loves to create anti-Christian "art" like the famous Virgin Mary painted in elephant dung or making a cross out of dog ****. I really feel it is unfair to religious people to have to subsidize this crap (literally) which is so obviously meant to slander their faith.
If people want pop art then fine; let them make it and sell it without government subsidies.

LOL Che.....your heart is good...but how can you possibly defend this kind of nonsense? Isn't it the worst kind of elitism and snobbery?
I, and I think a great many people, don't agree with the professors and critical theorists and avant garde.
There IS something special and sacred and indefineable called Art, and it's important, and it's literally being pissed all over, at the Public expense.
That felt good...off my chest.

BK, in the case of the painting, using elephant dung in art is very common where that particular artist is from. He was translating Mary into his culture. But I guess that's insulting. 
Piss Christ is about the commericalisation and vulgarization of Christianity. But I guess you're okay with that. |
This is here in the United States, when you do something like this people, a lot of people, take offense to it no matter what their intentions were. If I went to anther country and something I did offended people of that culture, I would not do it while I was there as to not to insult people.
This America not that persons culture. So you are saying it is allright to do something offensive with your art as long as it is not offensive in your own culture you came from?

They all have points!!! That's what makes it art, not design. Liking it, agreeing with it, even understanding it, is not required. It conveys a message, which is often different to different people.
Let's try this from the other side. When I went to see Attack of the Clones, last year, I was sure (and still am) that the character that owned Adakin and his mother was a characture of a Jew (complete with Yssidic hat and curls and vest). Most everyone else said I was wrong, 'till Oswald pulled up an old Nazi depiction of "the Jew" and put it next to the Star Wars character. Interpretation, context, intent all flow together and are seen differently from different standpoints.
To you, Rushdie's work is art. To me, Piss Christ is art. To someone else, the Madonna piece is art.
I dno't know about thise pubic hairs and toe nail clippings. I'd have to see it.
