So the dog was fed and it never died and it was never going to die.

The dog never died?!?!?!?!?

ok, so it appears the dude isn't Honduran, he is Costa Rican. The dog didn't die at all. In fact, it was a stray dog that was famished to being with, was only tied to that string for 3 hours at a time, was fed dog food on a regular basis and was allowed to run around in the inner courtyard when not part of the exhibit...

Quite a different scenario I would say

I like how the dog conveniently escaped.

Now can we all agree it was just pretentious performance art?

But could the dog have died sooner, or during the exhibit?

The man deserves prison time regardless. Even if they were able to duck tape JFKs head back together and he lived doesn't mean Lee Harvey Oswald gets off with an assault charge he should still get the chair.

Man, I knew I should have checked Snopes beforehand.

FWIW they list it as undetermined. So either the gallery owner realized how awful was and made up the story about the escape or the dog actually escaped. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, but would a stray run from free food? I don't know.

See johngateswhiteley... Now, THIS is an overreaction

If it can be proven that the dog was actually fed and actually escaped.

Until then, all we have are pictures of an emaciated dog tied up without food, and a bunch of hipsters casually ignoring it.

and what's up with all that about lighting up crack rocks and such?

If the dog was treated well and fed, then its a different situation.

Then IMO it wouldn't be art, but a social slap across the face trying to "wake up people"

That would be art.

[MoSpur]

Well, if it went down the way it did, meaning the dog was being fed and was running around free at times, then I can see it as art. How weird!

[CuckingFunt]

That would be art.

Pretty much.

Or in your case a great diet plan that might work!

I think its pretty clear that you seem to find a correlation between "art" and "right". As if giving something the tag of "work of art" carries with it some sort of validation or acceptance. Hence why you're willing to see it as art now that no harm has come to the dog, but were so unwilling to do so before, when calling it art would have meant accepting the killing of an innocent dog as something purposeful.

I hate art loving bags.

[monosylab1k]

I think the "escaped dog" excuse is bull , but I still don't see how tying a dog up for 3 days is art.

If tying up a dog is art, there's a lot of artists out in Fort Worth.

If Manny says it's art then it's art. He has a far superior knowledge of everything than anyone else.

Brownsville, TX has row after row or those artists at the Cameron Park Colonia.

Susan Smith was an artist.

So if my daddy stops mowing the lawn it's considered art?

Ted Bundy was an artist.

His art expressed the male frustration towards militant feminism.
