Inflatable or not, you wouldn't want to meet the dog that laid this.

This giant inflatable faeces (actually a sculpture by the American artist Paul McCarthy) broke free from its moorings at a modern art museum in Switzerland before bringing down a power line.

The artwork, named 'Complex Sh*t', was lifted by a sudden gust of wind from its home at the Paul Klee centre in the city of Berne.

The Paul Klee centre’s website described the show as containing ‘interweaving, diverse, not to say conflictive emphases and a broad spectrum of items to form a dynamic exchange of parallel and self-eclipsing spatial and temporal zones.’

The world of Art today! What idiots!

Pitiful commentary of the state of modern "art". Consider:

1. Someone actually thought this was art when the conceptualized it

2. That someone brought concept to life, still thinking it wart art

3. The curator thought it was art, and put it on display at the museum

4. The reporter went along with the elitist viewpoint and described it as artwork.

How about this dribble:

The Paul Klee centre's website described the show as containing 'interweaving, diverse, not to say conflictive emphases and a broad spectrum of items to form a dynamic exchange of parallel and self-eclipsing spatial and temporal zones.'

I read that, too. That sentence is a work of art in itself.

It would make the perfect centerpiece for the DNC convention in Denver.

I wonder how much of this piece of “art” was funded by the National Endowment of the Arts?
