This not art!!!!!!!!

Too bad the horse could not string up the disturbed artist the same way, perhaps by the neck!!!!!!!

our fear of being wrong."

P.S. This artist has forgotten what right is....

Dear Trudy!
Thanks for posting this! This is Art in the eyes of the Bienale they are complete idiots and dont react to anything like we have seen before!
You know i am the leader of the lazybones in endless Coma here on Care2!
Can we have a prefab e mail or petition?
I am sure that some Australian aninmal friends came up with a petitions or a website where we can just sign and send! Are you sure that this is real?
I have allready written a mail without checking it...BIENALE GEHT mir echt auf den Wecker! They kill the Bienale this way...make sure they know that!

Noted and message sent
And no, I wasn't nice in my letter because I'm so sick of these little shops of horror. They are nothing but sick ----- and I can't believe people are calling it art instead of institutionalizing them.
Thank you Trudi

Noted Trudi, and email ON ITS WAY!!!!

It's disgusting that someone can say, 'this is art' and get away with it.
HANGING A DEAD, ALBEIT PERSERVED, HORSE FROM THE CEILING OF AN ART GALLERY, DO NOT MAKE IT ART. IT MAKES IT DESENSITIZED MORBIDITY. IT MAKES THE MUSEUM HEADS LOOK LIKE THEY NO LONGER RECOGNIZE WHAT ART TRULY IS.

I think no reply or any comment needed!!
This reminded me on that exhibition where dog was starved to death while spectators were watching him commenting "deep message" "artist" was sebding with it!
"Artist" might be idiot, but who alows such things are criminals! Together with visitors! For watching suffering and doing nothing is crime!

YOUR EXHIBIT OF DEAD AND SUFFERING ANIMALS INSULTS THE INTEGRITY OF HUMANITY IT IS FRAUGHT WITH SADISM AND SERVES NO OTHER PURPOSE BUT TO TITILLATE AN ALREADY DEBASED PALATE AMONGST PERVERSE MINDS. YOU HAVE ABUSED YOUR POSITIONS . YOU HAVE SHOWN YOURSELVES TO BE WITHOUT EMPATHY OR TASTE. WITHOUT ELEGANCE OR EVEN BASIC EMPATHY
FRANKLY YOUR EXHIBIT IS AN INSULT TO HUMANITY AND CERTAINLY GRIEVOUSLY LACKING IN DIGNITY

Noted with disgust. For too long some artists have portrayed and exhibited works that are shameful; they continue to do so because the organizers of the Exhibitions such as this, appear to live in the same weird world, and know the publicity will bring in the visitors. My email has been sent to Marah Braye - CEO of the Biennale in Sydney.

Where on earth was that exhibit allowed to even happen?

Why don't somebody try to hang the artist like that for couple of hours and then ask him if it is art????

OMG!! What the heck ois wrong with people???Why would anyone opay money to support this freak? This is not art!! This is a twisted individual who gets away with his little shop of horses and the attrocities he perpetrates by calling it ART!!!! I agree... Another Vargas in the making he just hasn't had to guts to display how he got his end results yet, given time he probably would do exactly what Vargas did and possibly worse.

people pay because they have a covert lust for decadence and a re secretly perversly sadistic . and that is the truth and that reflects a very sick society.the organizers knew exactly what they were doing and played off it to make money from the pathetically perverse tatstes

You know what, I can't imagine humans going to see something as torturous as this is to this beautiful horse! How can anyone in their right mind {and that is the key} think that this could be art?

Also, how the hell is this being allowed to happen? Who is in charge of this insane display of heartless cruelty to an animal? Are they nuts too?

I will definately note, write a letter also and make sure they know that people are pulling for this animal, not to be "used" as an "artform". How disgusted some sub humans make me feel inside, all for the love of money...greed.

Thanks Trudi, your great hon...and thanks for the forward Charles, my sweet friend.

Geez, this sure needs to be addressed, I will contact some other agencies I know about this one! I am sick to my stomach, poor baby horse! The photo alone depicts nothing but horror & fear for this beauty! Some sub humans are the lowest form of scum that crawls on the Earth...

I will say many blessings that something be done right away..
Blessings to you all for caring, much love & respect to all.

Okay, Sophia..I must look into it hon, but definately will post contacts, thanks.

I had a thought, maybe we should string up the artist who did this and call it art? I wonder how he would like it?...oh that's right, he would be dead, now wouldn't he?

Sorry, I am infuriated! I do not usually stoop to their level, but this is just plain insane!

All what we do or say-talk about us!
So, this is not only an act of individual, who call him an "artist"/comercial (and am pretty sure he was aware of reaction, but expecting good results from negative advertisement!) it says so much ore..
Says that this world whole became so sick, and that nothing is secret, though we all claim for ethic values..
Otherwise, this would have never happened at all!

I too am getting an e mail out. This is disturbing and I am sick of people that think this is art. It is cruel and what kind of people come to look at that abuse? Sick humans..again..Thank you Trudi and Bruce for the e mail...noted

Email sent - thank you Trudi!
The Biennale appears to be descending ever deeper into the depths of absurdity and squalor simply for the sake of stirring up controversy and publicity - I'm sure if they could get away with publicly starving a dog to death in Sydney - they wouldn't hesitate for a moment!

Pam i agree i guess they would do everything to make money because that is what they are trying to do with this animal art.....we should all together flood the mail box of the management and make any communication impossible no petiton direct action....i think that i will not receive a reply but i am sure that i will send her my art mail over and over again until i read that they stop this...
Maybe we should create a send dead animals to all the biennales in this world lets show them how cruel people can be i am sure the bitch will think again before she accepts ART like this!
