You've seen the unmade bed & cows in formaldehyde passing for modern art but this one takes the biscuit. ;D

Yesterday evening I was working. At a certain moment (after two cups of coffee) my belly started to rumble. When I finished doing my 'bussiness' at the toilet I looked back inside the toiletbowl and admired my true piece of art. Do you think I can earn a decent living with having a crap in an empty gallery?

Crash ::)

Sounds an awful lot like composer John Cage's 4'33".  A piece of music consisting entirely of four minutes and thirty three seconds of absolute silence.

Stuff like this is great for publicity.  And that's all.  The definition of "art" does not include "non-art".  And what could be more "non-art" than absolutely nothing.

Why are people so crazy? Crazy to think they are doing something worthwhile and crazy of the people viewing to think it is worthwhile.  ???

Well it's not a bad way to make an honest living. Good luck to him if he can get away with it - providing I'm not contributing to it of course. :D

I might have missed the point here Andrew, but checked out his website. If only I could take photos with 10% of his quality or was that the point?

It's hard to believe people get paid to be lazy, and non-creative in the name of Art ::)
