#1 I wonder if he was exported or deported from Chile. What a nutter.

#2 a friend of mine is an artist, I asked him about this stuff, he told me it is their way of asking "what is art?" (surprisly hard to define)

#4 he told me it is their way of asking "what is art?" (surprisly hard to define)

Why is it that works that supposedly ask that question invariably provoke the answer "not this"?

#5 the stock justification for crap like this is "It's supposed to make you think". It makes me think this fool needs to find a real job: "you want fries with that?". As Ship sez - where do they get the money for this kind of production? If it's from the U.S. there oughtta be heads rolling. Can you imagine if Bush (and the EVIL Ashcroft!) decided to paint an iceberg red? The horrors, howls of protests (and giant puppets!), would be amazing - on a par with clubbing baby seals in ANWAR for the oooiiiilll!

#6 This is the same sort of silliness that fella Christof used to pawn off as art- he was the one who covered the Reichstag with a very large sheet about 20 years ago. He also put large pink "skirts" around a couple of smaller islands somewhere a while back.
I'd love to know where guys like this get thier money. I'll have an anuerism if anyone says they are Gov. grants.
Paint by numbers is better art than that sort of nonsense.

#7 Don't be dissing paint by number, the canvas can be used as a one time pad. I shouldn't say that but I did. You didn't see me.

#9 But what about the environment? The ecology?
Just think of all those poor organisms on the berg covered in paint.
Then again one must ask if it was lead based paints?
All that paint being dispersed into, and polluting, the sea when the ice melts.
Will it get into the fish? I suppose if Zeuros do it, it must be OK.
Ho hum!

#10 Muck I'm beginning to like you. You have the same respect for animal rights that I do. Agreed, put him in a blender!

#11 He should've just pissed on it and stuck a crucifix in it. Saves time, money, and the art lovers would still swoon over him.
