Complex Shit by Paul McCarthy

 

"A giant inflatable dog turd by American artist Paul McCarthy blew away
from an exhibition in the garden of a Swiss museum, bringing down a
power line and breaking a greenhouse window before it landed again, the
museum said Monday.

The art work, titled Complex Shit, is the size of a house. The wind carried it 200 meters from the Paul Klee Centre in Berne before it fell back to Earth
in the grounds of a children's home, said museum director Juri Steiner.

The
inflatable turd broke the window at the children's home when it blew
away on the night of July 31, Steiner said. The art work has a safety
system which normally makes it deflate when there is a storm, but this
did not work when it blew away."

    It’s one thing to break wind. It’s another thing altogether to break windows!

    This may be my favorite piece of artwork on this blog to date. Except anything with Missy Paulette or Casey Jane in it that is.
