G.G. Shitface (literally)

In keeping with the theme of the previous post (that is, how shock 'art' is fucking stupid and not art at all, merely an idiotic plea for attention), here is an excerpt from an article by Christopher Hume from the Toronto Star.

"When the 24-year-old Ontario College of Art and Design student[, Thorarinn Ingi Jonsson,] placed a fake explosive device – he called it a "sculpture" – inside the main entrance of the Royal Ontario Museum last week, he confirmed something that everyone outside the art world has known for awhile [sic], namely that art has lost its power to shock. [...] Jonsson's fake bomb didn't bring down the museum, but it marked the final passing of an artistic era. What author Robert Hughes called the shock of the new has become the refrain of familiarity."
