Contemporary artists!
öde:
That is fair enough then!
Jposh:
Can a regular painting be considered contemporary?
muteKi:

Now if only I could find where contols are to the thing so that I can shoot semi-suspecting art patrons.

Anything made within the last 100 years is considered contemporary.

If that article is to be believed, then I disapprove, thoroughly. If he did in fact leave a dog tied up without food or water until it died, I don't care what point he was making, it's fucking disgusting.
From my perspective, the only way I could honestly approve of his methods would be if he had captured the dog, fed it well, "exhibited" it for the three hours, and then adopted it as his own after using it to prove a point. Either way, he's using a living creature to make a statement, but giving the dog a better life off of the streets would be a good "payment" to the dog for being chained up in a fucking gallery. I doubt the dog is too feral to be taken in, since it let people mill around it like that.
I generally don't like it when artists use animals, dead or alive, as a medium. I don't care if it's puppies and kittens or rats and jellyfish, it makes me uncomfortable. I guess that's probably the point, but I can't like it or be glad that that kind of art exists.
I have taken pictures of dead fish on the beach, so maybe I'm a hypocrite.
