I don’t know what Art is, but I know what is not

At little while ago illustrator Tom Bagshaw sent me an email to sign a petition.

Artist, if you can call him that, Habakkuk Guillermo Vargas tied a dog (puppy) up in a gallery space on view to the public and allowed the dog to die by starving it to death. I don’t really care what message Mr Vargas was trying to send or point he was trying to make. This is animal abuse and he should be castrated for it. I don’t think I need to post the photos of the humiliated dog, so I will not be doing so.

Now what is the petition for if this has already happened? Well, the Visual Arts Biennial of the Central American have deemed this monstrosity to be ‘Art’ and have invited Habakkuk Guillermo Vargas to do a repeat performance for the prestigious Biennial of 2008. This must not be allowed to happen regardless of where the law stands. Please boycott the event and sign the petition.

Please read this update on the LCS for more perspective.
