Gullermo Habacuc Vargas took a dog in off the streets, tied him to a wall in his gallery, and let the dog die of starvation. Now he's trying to do it again at another art gallery but there's a petition going around,....

Said he was spreading the message about how street dogs are dying and get ignored, that this dog was close to death anyways.... so didn't deserve water or food though he had phrases written on the wall in dog food.

What do you think tdub?

I was just curious though. If I were in that gallery I would have done something to get that dog out of there and to the vet

once the body goes into severe ketosis, starving people usually report not being hungry anymore. maybe the dog wasnt suffering anymore from hunger, at least.

...at least running loose in the streets, the dog is able to find scraps, or otherwise hunt some food for itself

can't really do that tied to a wall inside of a building...

the fact that evil exists is not a justification for adding to it

The dog didn't starve in the gallery. He caught some dog on the street and they kept it for like one day before it got away. The gallery fed it while it was not part of the exhibit.

Also:



That's the dude.

seriously, fuck this guy. I think I'm more mad at him for calling this "art" than starving the dog. This required no imagination, no effort on his part, he didn't put any of himself into the work. He tied up a fucking dog and let it starve. It takes a self-important pretentious blowhard to even consider that art. If I ever meet him, I'm going to kick him in the balls. For art of course.

I think it would have been more "artsy" and it would have delivered the message all the same if he dressed up like a dog, tied himself to a leash, and went on a hunger strike.

This is what bothers me the most too. This isn't art, it's cruelty. I think I'd be a little less annoyed if he just starved the dog in his backyard and not in an art gallery as "art" Someone make this asshole into art.

First of all, who are you to say what is and isn't art? Second, you'd be ok with him doing the exact thing to this dog, only without some type of purpose or agenda?

I'm not condoning this necessarily, but I think everyone who is getting up in arms about this shit should just chill out. He's doing a hell of a lot more to raise awareness than you are by calling for his head on a message board. Personally, I think the sight of a starving dog would make me pretty fucking aware of problems regarding starving dogs.

"Art is anything you can get away with." If you don't like it then don't go to his gallery opening.

^ come on, you know I'm not okay with anyone ever starving a dog. It happens all the time, but this jerk can call it art for whatever reason or agenda. Its one thing to starve a dog just because he's a cruel person, but to call it art and it actually be okay?

It was only in the gallery for a day.

Dogs starving in the wild is not a problem, it's just natural selection at work. Unnecessarily starving a dog by tying it to a wall in your gallery is cruel though, even if the dog was going to die the exact same way out on the street, so yeah fuck that guy.

I'm JCASHFAN thats who the fuck I am. There is zero creativity in tying a dog up and letting it die. There is zero sacrifice in tying a dog up and letting it die. There is none of the artist in tying a dog up and letting it die.

Well no shit. Someone living in the United States is going to have an awful goddamn time doing much to take care of the dogs in Nicaragua. I can think of a metric shit-ton of way of accomplishing "awareness raising" that don't involve using the very indifference of the people of Nicaragua and a dog to gain "notoriety" as an artist.

When content doesn't matter, only shock value, you get the kind of vacuous shit that this is.
