Hi all,
this is a very serious matter...

In the 2007, the 'artist' Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, took a dog from the street, he tied him to a rope in an art gallery, starving him to death.
For several days, the 'artist' and the visitors of the exhibition have watched emotionless the shameful 'masterpiece' based on the dog's agony, until eventually he died.

Does it look like art to you?

But this is not all ... the prestigious Visual Arts Biennial of the Central American decided that the 'installation' was actually art, so that Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has been invited to repeat his cruel action for the biennial of 2008.

Totally disgusting and NOT art, criminal and deserves locking up, or ties to rope for a week with no food etc and eventually starved to death.

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

Rape him and let him die like he killed the dog. Take pictures of it and call it art.

Can I cast my signature from the roof top? Preferably with something supersonic, about a half inch in diameter?

The purpose of the work was not to cause any type of infliction on the poor, innocent creature, but rather to illustrate a point. In my home city of San Jose, Costa Rica, tens of thousands of stray dogs starve and die of illness each year in the streets and no one pays them a second thought.

Which makes it perfectly okay for you to do the same thing. Fucking hypocrite. I hope you realize that photographs would have worked just as well as this fucking disgusting act of cruelty.

I agree that it is unethical, very sad, and slightly distressing.
But art is in the eye of the beholder, and nobody has the right to say what is and is not art.

I've been hearing about this a lot lately and before I can tell you what I think, there are a few things I need to know about it.

But, as I understand it now, I would pay the cover charge to see the exhibit. I think it would be fascinating and potentially life-changing.

How could someone do that to a dog, especially as it has been starving enough by living on the streets

I would most definately not do that to my dog, however much of a bitch she is to me:

Why would I care about some stupid animal? There are things going on in the world billions of times worse than some stupid dog.

Yeah, I guess I may be the outsider here, but I, personally, find this incredibly artistic, and quite brilliant. As I said before, it's very sad, and certainly not ethical, but I find the "art" in this to be what you're seeing here.
Discussion, anger, compassion, love, violence, movement...
This guy has created an exhibit that has gained more exposure than anything like it for a while now. Whether intentional or not, he has rallied people against a common cause. And not only that, why are people so easily united against a relatively minor tragedy? It not only says something about the nature of people, it is practically a case study on the sociological impact that "cruelty" can have on a large population.

If I met the artist, I'd shake his hand, tell him I thought it was tragic but brilliant, and ask him what he thought about the reaction it was getting.

The art here is us, that petition, your friends... and how we're all reacting to this.

+1 Guillermo Vargas Habacuc. You have the world captive.
