Since When Starving a Dog to Death is Called Art
A so called artist by the name Guillermo Habacuc Vargas with the help of 2 children, who he paid, caught a dog on the street. He tied the dog in his exhibition gallery so people could see it starve to death. He told everyone not to feed this dog. He calls himself an artist. After suffering for a few days dog died in the gallery.
The sickness doesn't stop there. In that event he was chosen to represent his country in the “Bienal Centroamericana Honduras 2008″.
There's a pe ion to boycott his exposition if you want to join go here www.pe iononline.com/13031953/pe ion.html

I can't believe that people went to the gallery and didn't do anything about this.

this dude deserves to die
all i need is an address and a name...im there. we'll see how he feels about "art" when im done...
face!
Thats all I got.
the reason he did it is sound, i have no problem with his philosophical display. ever been to a bullfight? ...thats sort of similar.
anyway, people ignore hunger everyday. you think stray animals starving and dying in the streets is any different b/c its not in front of your face? you think kids dying in africa is any different b/c its not in front of your face? ...if you have a problem with what he did, then adopt animals from the pound, from the streets, and feed children in Africa. otherwise, shut your hypocritical ass up.
is it art? ...thats debatable. is it a great point that might wake some people up? ...you bet.
Terrible analogy...this is animal cruelty, and the fact that people stood over the damn thing and watched is disgusting....
There is a difference between chaining a dog up in a corner with no food or water, and a stray running around able to at least try and fend for itself.
I know you are trying to sound intellectual and what not, but you missed the mark by a long shot.
so I imagine if someone were to tie up a small African kid and starve him to death, it would be alright in your ed up little universe...
The "Art" tag is not a "get out of jail free" card for this sort of . Hypocritical or not, there's nothing wrong about condeming this dude's actions. What he did was ed up beyond recog- ing-nition!
i never said there wasn't a difference between what he did and that dog fending for itself. i haven't missed anything.
trying to sound intellectual? ...lol, jesus.

typical overreactive response. if you think i think its ok to tie up an african kid...you're ing nuts. stop wasting my time...making assumptions on what i actually think.
if all you're going to post is garbage, stick to pics of Argentinian women...that, on the other hand, is something.
that is the worst ing explanation/analogy I have ever heard. just because starvation does exist, doesnt mean you have make an innocent life be a part of it. its like saying "since war exists, lets show people that aren't a part of it, how bad it truly is by gunning innocent lives down so that they will wake up."
you're a in idiot.
Interesting.
No one fed the dog just because he said so. What does that say about all the people that went to the gallery?
WTF is wrong with you?
Those pictures really made my heart hurt and my stomach turn.
Sad.
ay dios mio!
This is art that only Miguel vick would appreciate. I'm sorry but that is not Art, that's just morbid. I doubt that the artist was trying to make a political statement about poverty in central america, just look at the people surrounding the "exhibition."
JGW is simply a moron.
I can somewhat respect what JGW is trying to say but whether you call this "art" or not, it's still animal cruelty and this "artist" deserves whatever punishment is typically given for such a thing. Same thing would happen to me if I did a singing and dancing routine that culminated in the robbery of a liquor store.
I can't fathom wanting to go see such a thing. I already regret opening this thread and seeing the pictures... to see it in person? ing sick.No one fed the dog just because he said so. What does that say about all the people that went to the gallery?
And I especially wish I hadn't seen those pictures with nine hours left in my work day because I'd really like to go home and hug my dog right now.
I'd imagine that Hondurans view dogs differently than most do here.
The fact that no one did anything would suggest that they view dogs as pests and/or that they have a problem with feral, stray dogs.
Yeah I wanted to puke when I saw that. Vapid artsy s not even concerned with the fact that a dog is starving to death right next to them.
Humans are some ed up creatures. We are truly the cancer of the earth.
The point he is trying to make if indeed he was trying to make that point about us ignoring hunger is a good point. He could have went about it a different way though. Chaining up that dog and starving it on purpose is just wrong.
That's probably true. But if that's the case then maybe the people of Honduras should spend less money building art galleries and more money on animal control.
If he really wanted to make a statement he would have chained himself up to starve to death.
i feel like eating!!
