Eh...he puts the powers to the viewers. I think it says something about a person's power over life + death and whether they choose to exercise it or not.

Considering the context of the installation I would not blend the fishie fish.

The appropriate thing to do would be to tell the gallery you don't approve of the piece and complain to the artist. All life is sacred after all.

Poor fish.

Some "artists" need to be forced into hard labor and do something usefull with their life. I certainly hope that moron didn't get a gov't grant for his "artistic" ability

Now that's what I call performance art!

So I guess tossing an animal in a wood chipper fits in that category then too...

I fail to see how that'd be consider humane. I also fail to see how you could exhibit something like that or go see something like that. To me, doesn't matter if it it's just a gold fish, it's the pure principle of the thing.

Really, I can consider the exibit to be a metaphore of the devistating effects of human progress on nature. Or possibly no matter how secure we feel in our environment, our mortality will catch up with us (ahem...9/11-type situation).

In either case the goldfish ends up a martyr.

At least with wood chippers, the chickens don't run around decapitated.

The only people who protest art are too stupid to understand it.
