The Department of Ew, Just Ew™ brings us this story, which – if you think about it, in a bizarre, macabre sort of way – redefines the time-honored cliché “the shit’s gonna hit the fan”.
“Complex Shit”, a sculpture by the American artist Paul McCarthy, cast loose its moorings and was lifted by a sudden gust of wind from the Paul Klee centre in Berne and carried 200 yards to eventually make landfall in the grounds of a children’s home.
Museum authorities said the work had an automatic safety device that was supposed to make it deflate in the event of a storm – but it failed to operate.
The museum’s director Juri Steiner said Mr McCarthy had not yet been informed of the fate of his artwork, and that he had not yet decided whether to reinstall it in the centre’s garden.
That depends, I’d think.  Does the garden need that much fertilizer?
