Comment on the art of Guillermo Habacuc
Vargas, chosen to represent Costa Rica at the "Bienal Centroamericana

Vargas, chosen to represent Costa Rica at the "Bienal Centroamericana
Honduras 2008"
I express my deepest disgust regarding Guillermo
Habacuc Vargas and his exhibition in August 2008 in your
gallery, using a starving dog for his performance, showing a spectacle
where a helpless animal was forced to die painfully, not allowing visitors to
intervene and help the dog.( http://www.marcaacme.com/blogs/analog/index.php/2007/08/22/5_piezas_de_habacuc )

Be assured that I will circulate the artist's name,
your gallery's name and the poorly art standard of Costa Rica in the
french art scene. Be assured that I'll find supporters who share my view on
this. Vargas is a shame for all real artists. He should not be allowed to
represent Costa Rica at the Bienal in Honduras. I ask you to
reconsider the decision and to chose an artist with a serious message
and not an animal abuser who puts his dirt on artists all over the world. The
first time in my long lasting art-life I am ashamed being
an artist.

here is his statement, he simply does not understand why he is even being boycotted!
He posted this: "I understand that there are various petitions on the internet with the intention of having me removed from the list of distinguished guests at the Bienal Centroamericana Honduras 2008 expose. These petitions are meaningless, and will not prove to hold any weight in having me removed from the guest list. I'm still trying to understand what is being boycotted here. Most of the signers of the petition are American and were not going to the expose in the first place."
The guy also has lots of pets dog, cats apparently in his care at home that seem fine! Why can he not see what he did to this starving dog is controversial?

I agree Ivy. Every individual that laid eyes on that poor dog and did not try to help it caused it's suffering .

signed Julie's new petition. my comments:
Oct 21, 2007, Nadia Donato , New York
An artist WITH TALENT does NOT have to resort to such publicity to promote his work. This SICK and CRUEL monster does not deserve such recognition in the art world, much less walk free in society. He should be in jail for this heinous act!
For the country of Costa Rica to condone such horror is a reflection of your nation as a whole. And, to allow this disgusting "man" to represent your country is an OUTRAGE! Until justice is served for this poor dog who was slowly and sadistically killed by this monster, pseudo-artist Vargas, I'll make it my mission to spread the word to BOYCOTT Costa Rica! Everyone should be made aware of the babarity that represents your country.

IS THERE SOMEWHERE TO GET A COPY OF A LETTER SO WE CAN GET THIS OUT TO THE EMAIL ADDYS? THIS CAN'T STOP, HE HAS TO BE PROSECUTED FOR HIS EVIL, HORROR!
Tammy Grimes Expresses it Best
Well written expression from Tammy of Dogs Deserve Better
His photo, his face hurts my heart so violently that I can't inflict that pain onto our upporters...cannot allow them to feel the suffering I feel, feel his ending as I know it. To be so helpless for another living being...to know it's too late for him...to cry and feel like my guts are exposed, but all for naught...to look at his face, want to run to him, protect him, most of all get him water, food.
To feel a hatred for his captor and for those who stand by drinking, socializing, watching "the exhibit." %#&!*% you.
As an artist I document suffering, push society's boundaries, challenge ideas. As an artist I seek to better the world. Guillermo Habacuc Vargas, the 'human' who starved this dog as part of his exhibit, calls himself an artist. I call him a coward, a murderer.
Worse than a murderer, I call him unfeeling. To deliberately take life, any life, in the name of art defiles the very meaning of art. Art is feeling, feeling art. One without feeling enough to stand and watch death and not intervene, seek to exhibit and promote that death is no more than death itself.
As a rescuer, every cell in my body screams to help this dog. These cells are denied. As founder of an organization working for chained dogs, I long to step in to give him what he needs. But he no longer needs our help.
Forgive my kind, little old yellow dog. I'm ashamed of my species.
Now it is we who need help, help to come to terms with the cruel world in which we are forced to co-exist with those who abuse and torture our companions.
I wish I had words to soothe your souls, but my soul is too tormented, so betrayed by the cruelty of another artist that I cannot even process the depth of the depravity, cannot fathom the darkness within.
As one arrested for aiding a dog in a similar situation, in essence little more than an 'exhibit' for passers-by and neighbors, I despair of a world where sanity reigns. [
Why are abusers not punished, why are those who save life criminals? Those who take life protected, honored? Are we of the same world? Is there a huge dichotomy that we cannot ever move beyond? Are we to suffer the painful deaths that result from bearing constant witness to torture by depraved beings? ask these questions and more, silently in my soul, over and over. All my questioning won't help you now, little old yellow dog.
You sweet, precious, innocent little old yellow dog. I'm so sad for you, for us, for humanity. God help us.
