“The man destroyed the large blue and white Porcelain Cube at a busy private opening for the exhibition “Who am I?” at Palazzo Fava in Bologna on the evening of September 21. Local police arrested a 57-year-old Czech man who has been identified in Italian media as Vaclav Pisvejc, a provocateur and self-proclaimed artist known for targeting important works of art.”
What it looked like before it was destroyed:
Damn, I saw that piece in Rio de Janeiro years ago. The banner on my profile if from that same exposition. There were also other things made of ceramic like a teddy bear and a security camera. Iirc, one of the pieces was a pendrive with a backup of wikileaks.
Am i just poor peasant who can’t understand art OR that sculpture looks like bunch of fancy PVC pipe glued together ?
It’s modern art most of it aimed at a moral.
As a guess I’m going to assume the point is that it’s a fragile extremely delicate vase with literally no purpose as a vase.
You can’t put anything in it or on it, it’s vapid and empty like… Art.
I’m gunna guess this is collaborative in some way between the two.
It’s a cube but for grandma’s.
It’s made out of extremely delicate porcelain.
Could’ve made it cheaper using PVC.
LOL, … and it also wouldn’t break as easily!
I saw that piece with my wife and just told her someone broke it and her reaction was “wait, that was actual ceramic? I always tough it was PVC”
Yup
