Your art is so childish and easy to do… You don’t caus impact for having a great idea or beeing very original. You follow the old recipe of shoking. Weak art, seems more like jack ass. You are lucky for having met the right people to ‘impress’ (probably very dump people). But in what concerns to art, inovation, concept, it is really weak.
Looks like ideas from someone who wants money and fame from an easy way, and not really worried about art. Just like porn really. Low qualitty but people want to see it even if it is stupid, like 2 girls one cup.
Sorry guys, you have no talent, just courage or lack of higienic sense…

This kinda shit was done a long time ago by far more talented turds. If you really wanna shock me, try gargling some diarrhea, wiping your ass with sandpaper and brushing your teeth with barbed wire. Then shove a catheter up your dick and funnel it back into your asshole till it comes out your mouth, reverse the whole fucking cycle if you can. other than that, a simultaneous decapitation performance piece by the artists would bring a high note to the end of their careers and immortalize their works. ll of this while a circle of crazy monkeys hurl shit at the artists and masturbate on their corpses. Now that I’d pay a couple euros to see.

Maybe Ondrej will stop “making art” and call that art. Or, maybe he could go live in bus somewhere, in a remote field, where we can’t smell his idea-farts (oops, I mean his art).

This has got to be the ultimate in artistic genius. The way in which they have referenced fetish pornography and re-contextualized its actions is simply superb. This type of work should be shown more often at more places, and should be thoroughly funded by governments everywhere!

the wish to be trasgressive and to shock It’s quite banal in art today.
On the other hand we have to admit that is the best way to hide the lack of ideas of the author.
I only hope the “artists” had fun realizng this, because I don’t.

you guys are an insult. You’ll never make it. Too many crap artists coming out of art schools and institutions each year are miles ahead of this. This is a load of toss, you’ll never ever make it guys, no way… There’s not enough room even for the most talented of artists in this world…. in New York alone there are some 400.000 artists trying to get noticed. It’s true you really give contemporary art a bad name.
What are you planning next? eating shit in front of video camera? Drinking piss? Fighting in poo like a bunch of retarded 3 year old?I mean your stuff is not even funny or shocking, it’s just bad taste like the rest of your work, dog carpets, nonsense, disgusting.

mildly amusing infantile expression. My dog has done everything this ‘artist’ is doing, moreover, in public, in plain view of anyone, without any protection from a gallery.

This whole page is a sorry attempt to show how an imbecile imitates a dog.

PURE PROVOCATION : ANTI- ART as I would define it! Let’s be serious. This man needs therapy, HELP. I feel terribly sad to discover a confused and wild Child-Man in an Adult body who is documented as an Artist. Is this way of expressing ART (?) Self-satisfying for HIM? If so, please let him keep his masterpieces inclosed. I give this man “credit” for getting every viewer’s attention – BRAVO (+ ironic smile)! But… I still think it is all PERVERSE and GROTESQUE.

No more, or less, derivative or calculated than most ART vying for attention. The sad fact is no one, including myself, really gives much of a shit any more. Except about my own work (genius) of course. I think I did chuckle, inwardly, once. thanks.

I’d agree that All Human Expression does not equal Art, unless the human doing the expressing says it IS art. Then it is art. You should not confuse the category “Art” with the value judgement “Good Art or Bad Art.” The shitting performance above is done by people who claim it to be art — don’t bother to decide whether or not they are correct. Tell us instead what kind of art it is — that’s all we are allowed to do. It may be disgusting art or bad art or stupid art or conceptually trite art, or childish moronic waste-of-time art — but those are value judgements about what kind of art it is. Once you have considered the claim that something is art, you have thereby validated that it IS art. — SN

I think this combination of works and actions (shitting, pissing, throwing up, vomiting) all showed here together is not very good, it makes the whole work seem very banal and provocative. It’s like they want us to be pissed – which they manage to. But it’s not so interesting after a while. For exampIe the chinese paintings are totally different and get lost in the middle of this shitting and vomiting. I don’t think the artists write all the comments… at least they didn’t write this one!

“Art” is anything made by someone calling their product art. There is skilled art and unskilled art and there is art that comes from knowledge of history and theory and there is conceptual art, traditional art, naive art, and pretentious art. To name a few. No art can be dismissed out of hand — there is no valid maxim like the “If I can do it, it’s not art” cited by the essay writer. Any definition of “Art” diminishes the power of art, and is a lie. How is Duchamp’s urinal in a gallery or his chess game with a naked woman determined to be “art,” but an artist defecating in the gallery is not art? Don’t get hung up over definitions — these guys shitting and throwing-up in museums have a conceptual basis that is legitimate. I think their statrement is unoriginal and banal, and that scatology, shock, and tantruming at the boundary of decency is an old-fashioned and now sophmoric reflex from the 20th century. We got the point 75 years ago, already! It’s art — it’s just uninteresting art. Probably smells pretty bad, too — I wouldn’t want to be in the gallery when they were expressing themselves.

Thank You! you have just shown us the reason why Arts Funding is always cut and people think so bad about contemporary art. A few lousy artists with no brains and or pride mess it up for all the other artist trying to create real art. In a few months that gallery will be closed and the owner crying why me ? Why because you have nothing to do with creating or promoting real art just sick garbage that no one cares about.

Can Dada-art be anti-art (shitting & crapping in a gallery, and licking curators asshole) which reminds me of jackass, and pop-art at the same time? Marcel Duchamp would we furious because anyone could do Ondrej’s works. It’s just bad art-porno.

Everyone look closely, this is what happens when you drop out of your local community college art program. You become a talentless hack, that has to resort to peepee jokes to get people’s attention. These are the individuals that either lack the creative vision to make it in real world as artists or are so void of technical genius that they are left with nothing other than shock and awe “Teeheehee” videoart. When you remove talent from the creative process this is what is left. Shitting on the gallery floor, thats neeeeveeeer been done before. Lets forget the “Yes everyone, I actually have had sex” self portrait. Licking an Art Director’s ass? You would have to do more than that to get through my gallery’s door.

Save your shit retrospective analysis (No pun intended) for your “$10 at the door hipster garage gallery” where they serve Pabst blue ribbon in cans and everyone marvels over the genius of a vagina slideshow, the fat tight jeaned white-belt trendsetter present for questioning of course. Stop blasting legitimate art galleries with this garbage, our inboxs are intended for those that you know, can actually make art.
