Dusty Chalk Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 We already agreed to send this guy (Warning: some things cannot be unseen) through first. No, it's not the mermen one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherwood Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 A quote, as I am wont to do: "In 2007 at the Seward Projects Space in Columbus, I had my first breakthrough with an installation that was to be the prototype for this current one. It was called THE PUNCH-YOU-IN-THE-FACE TUNNEL. It was the same set-up as THE RAPE TUNNEL except at the end of the tunnel I’d punch the subject in the face instead of raping him or her" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaizada Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I'm so sending a big fat porcupine through that tunnel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agile_one Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 ok, I'm all for performance art and over the top kinds of shit, but this guy needs to spend 6 months at Rikers Island, Sing Sing, or San Quentin. Then come out and try a rape tunnel. Whole different meaning, I'm thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 It's not like it's actually real or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beefy Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 ok, I'm all for performance art and over the top kinds of shit, but this guy needs to spend 6 months at Rikers Island, Sing Sing, or San Quentin. Then come out and try a rape tunnel. Whole different meaning, I'm thinking. Yeah, the sheer arrogance of the guy. I truly, truly hope that he gets somebody go through who beats the living shit out of him. It's not like it's actually real or anything. Even as a joke, it is in very poor taste. I'm all for gutter humour, provocative art, poking fun at everything...... but this really is just fucked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherwood Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I'm all for gutter humour, provocative art, poking fun at everything...... but this really is just fucked up. What's the point of provocation if it doesn't make you extremely uncomfortable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 The punch-you-in-the-face bit was pretty damn funny. Otherwise, just absurd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beefy Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 What's the point of provocation if it doesn't make you extremely uncomfortable? You can be provocative and still have someone ultimately feel better or 'improved' for the experience. But that is more difficult. Provocation like this, without any 'benefit' is the easy, low road. There is no life experience or insight to come from this for anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agile_one Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 hmmmm ... just read the artist description ... ARTLURKER THE RAPE TUNNEL By Sheila Zareno So, I'm thinking if I get a ticket to Columbus, and fly out there, i have free reign to kick this guy's ass (literally and figuratively) if I make it through the tunnel? Seems a cheap plane ticket to me in the interest of setting the world clock aright. Anyone wanna be a witness or accomplice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mypasswordis Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 To this day she still has unpaid medical bills. The point of this long aside is that all this took place two years ago, and I’m still having an impact on this young lady’s life, something not many other artists could claim about their work. Rape seemed like the next logical step. You just can't make this shit up. I laughed and then felt horrible about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherwood Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I thought it was funny. I especially enjoyed the comments, as could be expected by my slavish devotion to whole sites like this one devoted to nothing but "the comments" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigiPete Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Idiotic publicity stunt.... but I do hope he tries it and goes to jail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Currawong Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Officially fake...news.com.au posted it as fact across the web sites of a bunch of newspapers around Australia, even after most people already knew it was a fake. I would love to have been a fly on the wall when the idiot in question who posted it got called up for a "performance discussion" over it.

Dusty Chalk Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Sorry. But it's not like you weren't warned. But really, sincerely sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmanGeorge Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 What if a police officer crawls through the tunnel? Then I will probably go to jail. But before that I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
