Why on earth is that considered art?

I swear this crap is an inside joke with artists. They sit around with their berets in their coffee shops and giggle: Artist 1: "Dude, seriously, I got the university to display a bunch of weeners that I just randomly sent to people who painted them. The most work I did was carrying the box to the post office." Artist 2: "Really! That's almost better than when I pooped in a jar and got it displayed."

So much funny in that article.

Herky must be proud:

More than two dozen life-size castings are on display through Sunday in an exhibit titled the “John Holmes ***** Parade.â€￾.

...

Barwick described her project as a take on the university’s “Herky on Paradeâ€￾ celebration. That event featured 75 “Herky the Hawkâ€￾ statues displayed around Iowa City in 2004 as part of a Kinnick Stadium anniversary celebration.

And then there's this bit taking a cue from Tom Sawyer:

To make her project more collaborative, Barwick sent out plaster castings of a mold she ordered online to volunteers as far away as Miami who wanted to contribute to the project. Participants were invited to decorate the castings as they chose and send them back to Barwick to add to her collection.

A gem from the comments section:

This reminds me of the saying "If you're rich....you're merely eccentric and if you're poor.....you're weird". So, if you're an "artist"....you're talented and if you're not an "artist".....you're a pervert?

The bigger joke is they'll get goverment funds to produce said crap.

I know you're trying to make artists appear condescending, but you really don't have to stoop to their level...
