Social \ Sign the Petition! - Art Ban.

Kudos: 2,596

Mates: 60

No, not to ban art in general, but a particularly disgusting piece.

Amid controversy, the Costa RicaÂ´s Visual Arts Biennial (Bienarte) 2007 opened last night strict and small selection of works; Six artists and rewarded with the pass to represent the country at the "Biennale Centroamericana Honduras 2008".

One of the artists, captured a stray dog, tied it to the wall and left it to starve to death as his "artwork".

I'm all for freedom of expression, but this is simply too much. There are pictures of the work, but I'd rather not post them.

Please, sign the petition to get this "artwork" banned from being displayed in public.

so whoever had to clean up after the dog, and to those that visited the show, why not 'throw the dog a bone' or some food or something?
someone could have just took him home...

some people... what's next, tie a human to the wall?

its amazing what type of gaming console brings out diff people

over at my360 most people were disrearding this as normal

some people were saying that they see notihng wrong with this as it was going to die anyway

but killing animals like that is a bit to far

and people wlaked past it every day

if i walked past a dog tied up to starve id take him home
