EN LA BIENAL DE SIDNEY

Un "artista" italiano llamado Maurizio Cattelan junto con otro “artista” de nombre Mike Parr participan en el Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Sidney, Australia, como parte de su Bienal.
Cattelan cuelga del techo un caballo muerto y embalsamado.
Mike Parr entre otras “obras de arte” expone un video en que se decapita una gallina.

Copio una carta modelo escrita por una compañera animalista ,por si quieren escribir .

Sir/ Madam,


I am outraged that the Arts Festival Biennale at Cockatoo Island in Sydney has chosen to sponsor Maurizio Cattelan's Novecentro and Mike Parr who's work in this instance can not reasonably be called art at all, but merely a series of animal and human torture that are a great discredit to the Biennale reputation and standing as an institution of learning and culture.
Animals are living beings who feel and suffer just like we humans -- and we are no more justified in taking their lives at will than we have the right to kill another person. Such abuse of animals may elicit horror and disgust in viewers, but that does not qualify it as art. It takes absolutely no artistic talent or ability to kill animals, and to call the authors 'artist' is an insult to every real artist who refuses to rely on violence and shallow, sensationalistic gimmicks to express his or her vision.
Those works are of no artistic value whatsoever, and rather than raise people's consciousness about the cruelties committed against animals every day, it will encourage them to accept animal abuse as a way of gaining attention and notoriety. I urge you, with all due respect, to remove this deplorable exhibit immediately, and implement a policy explicitly prohibiting exhibits for which animals were exploited or killed.
Sincerely,
