  1. I suspect that the Board of Health may have a comment or two on this “art”. I like the definition that an artist is a person with enough gall to call themselves an artist. Talent is not a requirement.

  3. My best buddy, Maxx the Flatulent Superdog could have portrayed ‘man’s best friend’ in this artistic masterpiece. He has no dignity and at 125 lbs., never fails to disappoint!

  4. And she probably got a grant for the “performance” as well. This is the reason why governments are cutting back on arts funding.

  10. The very first comment was brilliant:
    “We all knew that modern art was shit; who knew that modern shit was art?”

  11. The Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) will henceforth be known by its acronym CACCA.

  12. Soooo…..how long before they get their own float in the pride parade? Fits right in and has a good chance of being the next perversion to be embraced as normal.

  18. I guess this art can be truly called crap.
    I remember many years ago going into an art gallery (so called in retrospect) and there was a large double layered sheet of heavy poly hanging on the wall, the middle was partially filled with a mix of water, guinea pig turds and grass. At the time my feeling was this is art but considering this new pile of….rodent turds isn’t looking that bad.
    This is what comes when people who have no real talent have either convinced themselves or been convinced by others that the world is just waiting for whatever stupidity their warped little minds can dream up.

  20. I’d love to go to the homes of these “artists” and decorate everything. Walls, kitchen table, bedroom, etc.

  22. “she hoped ACCA visitors would think and talk about something we have been socialised to consider dirty and shameful, and have historically hidden from view, even though it is perfectly natural”
    How timid and bourgeois of the artist. It would have been truly brave and transgressive if she had used a tiny venue without ventilation instead of that large airy stage. Then the art lovers could also have fully enjoyed the odours and auditory sensations. They’re perfectly natural too.

  23. When I was attending S.A.I.T, we used to refer to that area across the LRT tracks as “Planet ACCA”.
    Grant money has been needlessly spent on other “art” here in Canada, such as on this ‘artist’:

    Meanwhile in Banff circa 2001 we paid for this:

    Who would have thunk i wasted my money getting a tech diploma when they could have GIVEN me money to gross people out… Mind you, it’s the people that aren’t grossed out that one should be worried about!

  25. Well, well Kate! I must hand it to you – you really can recognize s**t when you see it! That’s a real talent! But it would be too much to look in your blog for any mention of Canada’s greatest living artist, Alex Colville
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Colville
    though one might perhaps expect a mention now and then, as Colville is a realist (or hyper realist), a rock-hard conservative, a former marksman, a war veteran, and a dog lover.
    But that would require looking up, wouldn’t it?
