Paul McCarthy : Flush Twice and Light a Giant Match
August 12th, 2008 by D.Billy
Today’s edition of The Guardian brings us one of the best headlines that we have ever seen anywhere:
“Giant Dog Turd Wreaks Havoc at Swiss Museum.”
Just take that in for a second.
Okay, good.
Now, the turd in question is a mammoth-sized inflatable sculpture by Paul McCarthy, entitled “Complex Shit”, pictured here:
As noted in the Guardian article, the sculpture got caught in a storm and broke loose of its moorings outside of the Paul Klee Centre in Berne, Switzerland … (insert “loose stool” joke here) … and sailed through the air almost 660 feet, knocking down a power line and breaking a window before ultimately — and this is beautiful — landing outside of a childrens home.
