An artists has called 'bull***t' on the pretentious art world by sitting named on a toilet for two days at a New York gallery. Lisa Levy, from Brooklyn, sat with no clothes on and remained silent on her toilet during two five-hour displays at Christopher Stout Gallery on Saturday and Sunday. Visitors were invited to sit opposite her on another toilet during the bizarre performance.

That’s what I thought too. Flushing some modern art down a toilet, now that would be art.
No not two days. Two five hour shifts (or Sh*ts) over two days. She is so dedicated two her art she can’t even handle an eight hour shift.
My mom is a professional artist. She had a good friend who entered a juried art competition and the winner of that year’s exhibit was a black Hefty bag. She was so utterly disgusted that she dried out a cow patty, covered it with laquer, nailed it to a plank of wood, and entered it the following year in protest. Ha!
Those morons can call anything they wish “art”. Just don’t spend MY tax dollars to subsidize it!
....How does one sit ‘named’ a toilet?...
One error like that could be spell check run amok.
Other mistakes are sloppiness.
Since photography eroded the market for representational art, which could approach but not surpass the camera in accuracy, to create something new meant going where they pretty much had to go. And if you believe what you read, the CIA pushed abstract art in a deliberate attempt to undermine Soviet realism. Pollock was a product of the Cold War.

Perhaps hers is called “The Stinker”.
My ex-wife and I were at the Denver Art Museum touring around some years ago...we entered this one gallery room where, in the middle of it was an enormous (about 15-feet in circumference) ashtray, yes, with lots of cigarette butts etc. in it, with lots of people standing around looking into it, like it was part of the exhibit! It was hilarious and, even more so when we went to leave this particular room there was a small sign near the door, ‘Smoking Area’...I never laughed so hard.
