Complex Shit
Flying piece of art causes museum chaos in Switzerland
(AFP) – Aug 11, 2008
GENEVA (AFP) — A giant inflatable dog turd by American artist Paul  McCarthy blew away from an exhibition in the garden of a Swiss museum,  bringing down a power line and breaking a greenhouse window before it  landed again, the museum said Monday.
The art work, titled  “Complex S(expletive..)”, is the size of a house. The wind carried it  200 metres (yards) from the Paul Klee Centre in Berne before it fell  back to Earth in the grounds of a children’s home, said museum director  Juri Steiner.
The inflatable turd broke the window at the  children’s home when it blew away on the night of July 31, Steiner said.  The art work has a safety system which normally makes it deflate when  there is a storm, but this did not work when it blew away.
Steiner said McCarthy had not yet been contacted and the museum was not sure if the piece would be put back on display.
