Am I the only here that thinks this is fair use because it's artistic commentary on a subject.

Are you saying works like this should't be done at all?

No you aren't the only one.

Like it or not, it's fair use because it's newsworthy just as much as it's art. Social commentary. It's not like he's selling these, he's just plastering them in an exhibit.

And for people who say it commercial, well, everything in the world is somehow commercial because without income, no financing, no support, nothing would exist.

Art? HA, I don't think so, but pointing out that people are exposing themselves at a overwhelming rate. That's a good point.

Done or not, that's an opinion. I think performance art and some of these projects, like draping bridges and buildings are a waste of time and money. Others think it's just "oh so Nouveau", get a federal grant to spread chocolate on your body and put some cherries on your head, that's art?

So do I appreciate it? NO Do I think it's art? No Do I think it's a waste of time and materials, YES. but so what. Other people have different opinions and they don't like ancient historical sites, auto racing or possibly jalapeno dill pickles. I do!  :D

It's not a performance piece.

It's art. Whether you like it or not is a different and subjective issue. Personally I quite like it conceptually - and I definitely like how it looks.

Personally lots of crafty stuff and most contemporary watercolors bore the ***s off me. But other people like that kind of thing. Which is fine too.
