Artistic Statement? (member, show, quote, Hang)

i am not being hypocritical, though.

theres a difference between acknowledging other possibilities and contradicting oneself.

I know you didn't join a facebook group I was going off of what someone else said.

And like all "art" it open to interpretation, personally, making this dog a martyr is sick and twisted. Perhaps martyr was the wrong word, sacrifice perhaps?

Either way I just hoped it impacted someone to get inolved, and truly hope he never does something like this again.

Sacrifice is even worse. It just reminds me of the words 'slaughter' thanks to Jesus.

I of course hope nothing like this happens ever again. Your man who did this is obviously very hated now I mean I think he should starve himself too.

I didn't read that one, but on other sites I've read that the dog was let free after. Perhaps it died the day after the exhibit when it was let free.

in the same passage that you quoted that from...

"The dog was extremely ill and did not want to eat, so in natural surroundings it would have died anyway"

As well,

“I won’t say the dog died. The importance to me is the hypocrisy of the people where an animal is the focus of attention where people come to see art but not when it’s in the street starving to death.”

But the fact is the dog could still have been rescued, I know, I used to work with animals just like this. Even if he did put that food just out of reach of the dog, how ****ing cruel.

He is the hypocrite.

The artist himself said several times the dog died.

You need to follow his statements closer, he's tripping over his own contradictions if you read around.

"the dog would have died anyway"
"I cannot say if the dog died or not"
"I wanted to do it to remember Mr.Natividad Canda" (a burglar killed by guard dogs)
"I did the exhibition to show the terrible situation of street dogs"

His art can have multiple meanings.

And how does that make it any more OK?

Vengeance on the dog for a burglar and pointing out a horrible situation for the dogs are pretty contradictory.

Maybe the contradiction is there to further the artistic statement.
