Thread: And now for something completely different!

Here is a sculpture made from, well literally.......Bullsh#t. Actually it could be from a cow but the sentiment is the same. Also a chicken wire skeleton.
Back in my art school days I was rather annoyed about learning about the work of a famous French artist by the name of Duchamp.
A long time ago he entered a piece in a big ticket artshow.(for want of a better description)
He called it a readymade.
It was a male urinal placed on a plinth on it's side and signed R. mutt.
It caused an outrage.
But Duchamp had the explanation to back it up. If you are a sucker!
He was a pivitol identity in the art world.
Now any artist can screw up an A4 sheet of paper and win a million bucks or some other bit of rubbish and be a legend and be famous and wealthy.
I don't get it and this was my response.
It's still hanging off a nail in the wall in my shed. No one ever notices it.
Hope you enjoy the humour.
