and Nativity: The "funeral" of a dog that never died

already several times, I received a mail with the subject: "THIS IS ART? REJECT YOUR SIGNATURE! "Or similar (even when I started writing this, I got another one). Perhaps many know that because as I speak, many others probably landed them the same in your inbox. For those who do not know, put them in context:

order is to sign a petition against the artist Guillermo Vargas Habacuc , Quie n, presumably in Central American Biennial of Art 2007, as part of his work, took a stray dog, tied it with a small rope and let mo acquire, without giving any food or attention. All this accompanied by a large sign with the phrase: "You are what you read" written with dog food. Now, the Bi enal invited him to participate in the 2008 edition and this is what any and prevent this pet itorio.

Well, so far, a story other cruel.

The mail that I received says that you can verify this on the internet, and that is ... but it seems that most only read the titles of some items, then leave new notes (or blogs as a whole which are on the subject), and hence, these chain mails. Thus, some details are beyond many readers of mails or blogs (or rather many, at this time are 529733 the f Irmantas of this request), for example one that I consider somewhat important: There is no evidence that Natividad, the dog in question has died. Even if one looks a little bit more on the network, finds that one of the organizers of the museum said that it was exposed to the dog food it before the show, which lasted only three hours, and then escaped ( or let him escape), which is totally normal for a street dog. The artist refused to say whether the dog had been fed or not, keeping an air of mystery, giving special importance to his work and of course, becoming famous at the expense of at least 529733 gullible now.

Habacuc Vargas also said he wanted to demonstrate, among other things, it was as if the poor dog was left on the street no one was paying attention, and in this context, going to become important ... and boy did it! .

On the other hand, also part of the exhibit included an incense burner, which burned 175 rocks of crack and an ounce of marijuana. There any doubt that we are talking about a professional provocateur?.

The guy created a lot more than a work of art (you may not get to that range, but not for me to argue with), set up a new legend urban, Natividad. And today, thousands of people are watching a dog that never died.

Perhaps art is also to create a fiction?. This type not only did that, but made a lot of people it's created. This man played a while to be Orson Welles made his own "War of the Worlds."

And not only that, it achieved a spectacular and free advertising at the expense of a lot of people, wanting to do the opposite, they are working for him. Do not know how this man knows about art, but marketing is that he knows a lot.

P D: Sorry if any readers signed the petition, I think it's great if you create a "noble cause", but better than that, it would trying to communicate with someone in Honduras, where does the Biennale 2008 (surely among the many thousands of signatures one there), go to the exposure and release the dog, or at least you will be eating ...
