Vuonna 2007 ”taiteilija” Guillermo Vargas Habacuc (blogi, jossa on kuvia rääkkäyksestä) otti kadulta kulkukoiran, sitoi koiran taidegalleriaan ja antoi sen nääntyä kuoliaaksi. Tätä sanotaan taiteeksi? Jos tuo on totta tosiaan taidetta, ovat maailmankirjat kyllä aika sekaisin. EDIT: Toivottavasti ei kuitenkaan totta. Ks. lisää tästä.

Artist Guillermo Vargas – Habacuc
LATELY, a number of emails have been doing the rounds, condemning the actions of the artist, Guillermo Vargas ‘Habacuc’.
Last year, the Costa Rican ‘artist’ is alleged to have paid some children to chase and catch an abandoned dog. He is said to have tied the animal by a very short rope to the wall of an art gallery in Managua and left it there for several days, without food or water, until it died.
During this time, many people visited the art gallery, paying absolutely no attention to the torment of the dying dog.
Photographs of the so-called exhibition can be found on the Internet.
The prestigious Central American Biennial exhibition incomprehensibly decided to consider this barbarous act as art, and Habacuc has been invited to repeat his cruel action at the Biennial of 2008 in Honduras.
In his defence, the artist has claimed that what he was attempting to prove was that those who saw the suffering of the dog just walked on by and that if it had been left on the street to die, no-one would have even known of its existence.
It has also been reported that the dog did not die but escaped, and that it had been fed by Vargas and was only tied up during the gallery opening times. It has not been possible to confirm this.
The Managua exhibition attracted worldwide attention and many people believe it to have been an act of cruelty rather than art. A petition has been started in an attempt to prevent Habacuc’s involvement in the 2008 Biennial and from repeating the spectacle.

Mielenkiintoista, että ”arvostettu” laitos on kutsunut hänet uusimaan temppunsa.
Vuonna 2007 ”taiteilija” Guillermo Vargas Habacuc otti kadulta kulkukoiran, sitoi koiran taidegalleriaan ja antoi sen nääntyä kuoliaaksi.
Useita päiviä ”taiteilija” ja galleriavieraat katsoivat tunteetta tätä
”mestariteosta”, jonka koiran kuolinkamppailu muodosti. Lopulta koira
menehtyi.
Näyttävätkö oheiset kuvat sinusta taiteelta? Mutta tässä ei vielä ole
kaikki: arvostettu taidebiennaali Visual Arts Biennial of the Central
American on nyt kutsunut taiteilijan tekemään saman julman
performanssin uudelleen tämän vuoden biennaaliin.
Auta pysäyttämään tämä taiteen nimissä tehtävä eläinrääkkäys!
Mene jommalle kummalle seuraavista sivuista:

ja allekirjoita vetoomus ”taideteoksen” pysäyttämiseksi. Lähetä tämä
kirje kaikille tuntemillesi eläinihmisille. Ole kiltti.
Allekirjoitus ei luonnollisestikaan maksa mitään ja aikaa siihen kuluu
noin minuutti. Googlettamalla ”artistin” nimen, voit lukea että tämä on
totta.

same in English
In the 2007, the ’artist’ Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, took a dog from
the street, he tied him to a rope in an art gallery, starving him to
death.
For several days, the ’artist’ and the visitors of the exhibition have
watched emotionless the shameful ’masterpiece’ based on the dog’s
agony, until eventually he died.
Does it look like art to you? But this is not all … the prestigious
Visual Arts Biennial of the Central American decided that the
’installation’ was actually art, so that Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has
been invited to repeat his cruel action for the biennial of 2008.
