The female Director of the Palace of Versailles has allowed an Anglo-Indian "artist" (Anish Kapoor) to put a giant ten-meters long vagina sculpture (called Dirty Corner or Queen's Vagina), in the middle of the palace' gardens!
(And by the way, this French feminist director (Catherine Pegard) has subsequently been invited by the Bilderberg Group for their upcoming "secret" meeting...)

Ceci n'est pas un vagin

Huh, I was just thinking wouldn't it be stupid if it was another reference to that.

It's like all of these loons are actually the same person. No original or independent thought at all.

LOL. That big, wide-open hole looks like the average ameri-slut's vajayjay...

Art is a great barometer of culture. If someone asked you "at what point in history was a giant vagina sculpture considered art?" you wouldn't say 'the 1800s'.

The French are just going to let this happen? Why are even French feminists letting this happen? The tour guides will proudly nod and say "Yeah, our queens have vaginas so huge you can drive a pickup truck through 'em?" while the rest of the world awkwardly shuffles their feet?

Hitler did have a pretty good point when he was talking about degenerate art. His ideas of what constituted high art weren't that great either but he definitely had a point about general decadence and degradation of culture being reflected in art.

Art? Vagina? Thats a fucking tunnel. A Ford 350 could fit in that.

From an artistic point of view, it doesn't even resemble a vagina. It's poorly designed cylinder. This had to have been designed by a gay man, no person that has actually seen a vagina could pretend to see an semblance of a vagina in that gaping hole surrounded by rocks.

Not only is the female director a complete idiot, she obviously has never seen a vagina. Most likely because hers is hidden behind a layer of fat that requires a squatting position and a well placed mirror to reveal.

Well, actually:

Quote:

L'Origine du monde ("The Origin of the World") is an oil-on-canvas painted by French artist Gustave Courbet in 1866. It is a close-up view of the genitals and abdomen of a naked woman, lying on a bed with legs spread. The framing of the nude body, with head, arms and lower legs outside of view, emphasizes the eroticism of the work.

Every time I hear about some feminist art project it just reminds me of Maude Lebowski and I laugh.

[Mike5055]

What ever happened to class? Pathetic.

[kruger41]

Some enterprising men should "erect" (heh) this statue right beside it.

For equality's sake.

So many of today's artists and "progressives" have so little scope of history (of art, etc.) and are so tied up in their "let's shock the squares" phase that their output won't mean shit in 50 years, a century, etc.

As humble as my artistic endevours may be, I at least try to take in perspective and try to view output of how any such project may look 50 years hence.

I've noticed similar things, a lot of these people have absolutely zero idea of the importance of context in appreciating art of various kinds. Also of the history of various arts, even when they're studying it. This sculpture reminds me of hilarious "modern art" (e.g the red square on a white background painting I saw once which supposedly had some deeper meaning to it). This is just the kind of crass, unsubtle gesture I would expect a feminist to make with an art project.

At least that guy needed to use paint and technique...

Now THAT is what I call putting the pussy on a pedestal.
