This Is NOT Art.
In 2007, the ‘artist’ Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, took a dog from the street, tied him to a rope in an art gallery, and starved 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.
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.

The ART consists of manipulating you into reacting to an imaginary scenario.
Wikipedia says the artist himself has signed the petition.

Weren’t there any compassionate people around to object to this savage act ? This tells a lot about the society in general, the gallery goers, curators etc etc

Very disturbing, the ‘artist’ should be used in place of a dog for the Biennial of 2008.

A crueldade é a expressão da pobreza intelectual, espiritual e emocional de qualquer ser humano, independente de qual país pertença.
Essa pessoa não é um artista. É um psicopata e deve ser encaminhado às autoridades competentes, se é que elas existem por lá…e a sociedade de proteção aos animais??????? permitiu que acontecesse isso???

its just a dog!!!!!!!!!
Cruelty is alive and well in this world which obviously angers me to the core.
AS soon as israel stops being an occupying force the world will follow.
Same goes for tibet and the enslavement of the American people.
