101 uses for a dead horse

Post by spot »

Jasha Lottin, Portland Nudist, Broke No Laws by Killing, Gutting Horse, then Posing Naked Inside Carcass (NSFW Pics) - Seattle News - The Daily Weekly

They appear to be taking flak from oh-isn't-it-cute fundies who fail to see the art, though nobody seems to have complained when Bear Grylls did the same thing with a camel. He, unlike Ms Lottin, messed up his clothes.

It's a nobler end than becoming pet food, I reckon.

Tosh. Either something dies for a cause or it dies for none. This horse died as part of an artistic performance. Dying in order for some capitalist to make as much profit on petfood as possible has far less of a ring to it.

Died for a cause ?

Whose cause, the publicity seeking exhibitionist ?

At least pet food is of some use, unlike yet another example of the Emperor's New Clothes.

I wonder if the woman made any money out of her "venture."

She is only 21 years of age and has a few more years of brain development to go. Really does show how unsophisticated humans are though.

I'd rate Ms Lottin at least as highly as I'd rate Tracy Emin or that Rachel Whitbread.

Let's put this Into perspective..

You condone a horse being killed for no other reason that someone to make profit at an exhibition yet you condemn a horse getting a slap on the rump to get the best out of him In the final stages of a race ( something which most horses enjoy doing... running with the herd ).

You think It is a disgusting practice when a horse dies In The Grand National yet applaud this

You really are a hypocrite arn't you?

Firstly, I don't think any horse should exist in any domestic setting. They're wild animals, domestication is demeaning.

Secondly, the animal was 32 years old and being sold for slaughter.

Where's the hypocrisy?

How about the horse living out the rest of his days and dying a natural death Instead of the grotesque notion of charging people to come and look at It's carcass?

You whine about the horse-racing Industry making obscene amounts of money for those Involved yet condone taking money to view a dead horse. In the name of art.

'Domestication is demeaning'

The likes of Tracey Emin and Damien Hurst are not artistes but charades simply because they have no talent what so ever. Anyone who actually pays money to go and see their so called creations needs help.

The ugly old bint In your article Is no different and should be shot under the trade descriptions act If she calls that art.

She's 21, apparently. "Old" is rarely applied to those aged 21.

Have you a notion of Damien Hurst's annual turnover in sales? "no talent what so ever"? I fear your ability to recognize talent is pretty much denied by your statements.

As It happens, I do know a Pierre Bontemps from a Jaques Louis David.

Damien Hurst at best, is absurd and tacky. The big difference with him and notable atrtiste's Is that It would be easy to replicate Hurst's work by a novice yet Impossible to replicate a great master.... There's your difference.

Hurst's formaldehyde tiger shark could be replicated In anyone's back shed for example. The obscene price tags on this revolting crass spectacle only highlights the moronic snobbery so called art critics and collectors possess. ... At the end of the day, It's a shark In a big tank....

As long as we continue to raise children to believe stupid sh!t, they'll continue to do stupid sh!t. Art is subjective and is a window into far interpretation of the artist's culture. This girl obviously believes stupid sh!t, and has shown the rest of us the stupid sh!t we teach our kids. I believe it's time to begin to teach our children to respect all life.

A spontaneous idea? Really?

What's the closest any of you have come to this as a thought pulled out of the air?

I don't think I'd leave these folks alone with a loved one of mine.
I expressly forbid the use of any of my posts anywhere outside of FG (with the exception of the incredibly witty 'get a room already' )posted recently.

Folks who'd like to copy my intellectual work should expect to pay me for it.:-6

Organizational, undoubtedly. Many of what are now spoken of as Masters had extensive studios and apprentices whom they instructed in the creation of the masters' works, Mr Hurst follows in the footsteps of undeniable artists in that regard. As to the quality of his work from an artistic perspective I'd focus first on his bronzes and butterfly grid paintings. Both categories stand comparison with anything one might call art.

Have you considered Anatomy of an Angel as far as artistic credentials go?
