Why are the quotation marks around 'drinks' and not 'art'?
To: Felicity Fahrquar
The 42,000 pound value represents the fact finding mission costs (otherwise known as vacation) that the "artiste" required to get same glacier water. My art of debris from the moon will cost much more.

Insurance scam? That's what I'm thinking. I am reminded of a controversial "art" show a while back that had lots of pieces that required no time or expensive materials (or talent, for that matter) to create. The pieces were similarly "valuable." After the show was taken down, the pieces were stored in a warehouse which subsequently burned. I thought at the time that the thing to do would be to create scores of such artworks and lend them to galleries and museums worldwide. Then, whenever any disaster struck anywhere - cha-ching!

But the artwork, valued at £42,500, went missing while on display at a literary festival, reports the Scotsman.Its friggin' ice!!

Hey, cool -- you wanna invest in my new "gallery"? The "scallops Mornay" exhibit is sure to make a killing... ;p Only if the art is in the harvestng of the scallops at all areas of the world where they are endangered. A $2,000,000 entree as "art." Magnifique!

Artist Wayne Hill filled a two-litre clear plastic bottle with melted ice to highlight global warming. That's not art.
Now, freeze-dried human corpses?
THAT'S art.

I stepped in some dog doo in my Chuck Taylors , when I lifted my foot it looked like Hillary in a rage. Smelled like her too. I value it at $30.00

This story just made my day. Maybe it was a FReeper that drank the water just to piss off the DUmmie. Even funnier is that he could have just used some tap water and it would look the same. DUmmies losing money when their agenda backfires just warms my heart.

"It looked like an ordinary bottle of water, but it was on a plinth, labelled, described and in the programme of the whole festival. "It was very, very clear what it was - a work of art."
Man, I wish I had that kind of artistic genius.

Wouldn't that be recycling art? Who could be against that? :)
