I just discovered you blog. Promptly added you to my blogroll. Keep the posts coming, enjoying.

I really just don’t get “art”, why would someone pay to see that? What value does it bring?

Many people are fascinated and curious with death and dying, so I would think this would draw a large crowd....as well as many protesters. 

Diana

i believe that he was the so called artist that that starved a dog to death for "art", i think he shud starve himself

Different guy.

Clearly, I understand why he would think this would be a great "Art Show"... but how could someone dying in the name of this guys art be anything other than disturbing and very sad? Sounds to me like this wierdo needs a new day job. His conception of art is clearly distorted. Go to a morgue or a convelescent home if death intrigues you so much. Do ruin art with it. Art is supposed to make you feel alive and different. Not DEAD.

Realistcically... there are way too many odd people out there would would pay to see this. And those people would be the same people that slow down to stare at horrific car accidents on the freeway and cause a large, disgustingly amount of stopped traffic. Pathetic.

This is almost as that other artist that starved a dog for art, and the artist from Yale I belive that recored herself having a natural abortion.

Death seems to be a art the museums are willing to have...

End of story.

Since the day we are born, we are all dying... so, What's the point of this?!?

Okay...if someone wants to see what a dead person looks like, why not just look it up on the internet or something? Does it really needs to come to this?? What's so special about death anyway that people want to see? Suffering? Grieving? If you haven't seen death or a person dying yet, trust me, you will eventually. There's no need to go to a museum and pay to see it. I hate all these bullshi* stuff people are trying to do and call it "art". It's just showing they have a lack of talent to create any real art and just wanna do something to shock people and get publicity for it.

First you starve a dog to death and call it art and now this. Why dont you starve yourself you sick bastard!

I'd volunteer.

When people want to do crazy stuff, they label it as art and get away with it. We already see death around us all the time, there's no reason for people to pay to see it. Unfortunately, there are those who will pay, and those who will laud this guy as a great artist. And yes, there will definitely be some people who'll volunteer, because that's just the way the world works. Apparently, "shock value" has become a large part of art these days (i.e., Abortion girl from Yale), that it makes me feel that inciting intrigue has become more important than the work itself.

since when has the sole purpose of art to make you feel alive and different?
what about pieces of art that are made to make you feel sad, terrified? deluded?
art can be any expression of any emotion.
it doesnt even have to be emotion!
i think this artist has a brilliant ideea and i wish him the best of luck

Having recently watched my mother slowly die from cancer, I can honestly say there was nothing beautiful about it. Horrific would be the words I would use.

As I have noted in another comment under the 'Abortion' Art thread, how many serial killers think this same way?

Makes you wonder about many so called 'artists' around these days.
