Default It's official...the art world has run out of stuff

to sculpt....

An inflatable dog feces sculpture the size of a house from a modern art exhibition in a Swiss museum has blown away.

The sculpture title “Complex Shit” by American Artist Paul McCarthy was lifted by a sudden gust of wind this week from the Paul Klee center in Berne and carried 200 yards, but not before knocking down electricity lines and smashing a greenhouse window.

The automatic safety device that was supposed to deflate the sculpture in case of a storm malfunctioned. The blow-up sculpture came to rest on the grounds of an area children’s home.

Museum directors have not yet decided whether to reinstall it at the “East of Eden. A Garden Show” exhibit.
