Giant Inflatable Turd Cuts Loose


Without further a-doo:

An inflatable dog turd the size of a house has blown away from a modern art exhibition in a Swiss museum before bringing down an electricity line and smashing a greenhouse window.

“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.

Works by Paul Klee, because we’re not philistines. Turn the music off.

Is giant inflatable poo art? Discuss.
