Animals and Death as Art






The readings about the SFAI reminded me of this story from last year:

"This chained dog was Costa Rican artist Guillermo Habacuc Vargas‘ “art installation.” Guillermo paid two kids to catch this dog on the street, had it tied in this “art gallery,” and told everyone not to feed it. And because the dog naturally died, he was chosen to represent his country in the “Bienal Centroamericana Honduras 2008.”

I couldn't find an actual website for Vargas, but I think this is his blog: http://artehabacuc.blogspot.com/
