Art stuff and death death death

Art stuff and death death death

Check out this artwork:

I think the use of psychedelic colours is fantastic. On the other hand the artwork also took the lives of two women and injured a couple of kids, since it apparently took off into the air. Omg. Strap the thing to the ground, you muppets! But they were probably under the influence like the rest of us when it was installed. Whatever the reason, I think the two dead are fairly indifferent to it, but a shame for those they left behind. Anyway, check out the artwork, dickheads. What do you think of it?

Have a good weekend

I'm in favour of death art.

Shall we make some death art together?

You wouldn't happen to know what that bloody chapel built of skulls and bones is called? It was something about lots of people being hit by the Black Death and then the survivors figured they might as well use the remains to decorate the church. I remember seeing some pictures of it and thought it looked very gloomy in a very aesthetic way.

I found it myself. Doesn't look as fantastic as expected though, but fuck it. It's not really death art either. More Christian-necrophiliac architecture

The Kennedy assassination, the bombing of the WTC on 11 Sept 01, or just the thought of Pia Kjærsgaard as Minister for Culture and Sausages is surely a work of art in itself too. I think I'll become an art professor and write reviews of really bad crap art without meaning or purpose.

Actually it's very beautiful that the end of people's meaningless lives, death, acquires a meaning through the use of their remains as decoration. Ironic to do it in a church, where they try to convince people that their lives have a meaning. Besides, it's a rather better use of the remains than having them lie around taking up good farmland/building plots/recreational areas where one could be drinking strong lager and smoking hash.

One could also just do as some do in the East, namely give the bodies to hungry vultures. Then you don't have to dig a hole, the birds get fed and can grow big and strong, and then you can go hunting and shoot them, if you're into that sort of thing

I suggest letting the poor eat the dead.. just to show that nothing ritual needs to be done with them. they are merely bodies, like any cow or pig. Why can we eat them, but not humans?
