A “self-proclaimed” artist, named Guilhermo Vargas Habacuc should be considered persona non-grata in all the art exhibitions in the world!

In the 2007, the ‘artist’ Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, took a dog from the street, he tied him to a rope in an art gallery, starving him to death.

For several days, the ’artist’ and the visitors of the exhibition have watched emotionless the shameful ‘masterpiece’ based on the dog’s agony, until eventually he died.

Does it look like art to you?

But this is not all… the prestigious Visual Arts Biennial of the Central American decided that the ‘installation’ was actually art, so that Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has been invited to repeat his cruel action for the biennial of 2008.

There’s a petition circulating on the net to boycott the exhibition. I already signed the petition and you? It is available here.
