O Urinol do Sr. Duchamp

Segundo o Guardian de hoje "An unrepentant 77-year-old French artist named Pierre Pinoncelli was in custody yesterday after taking a hammer to Marcel Duchamp's celebrated porcelain urinal at an avant-garde art exhibition in Paris's Pompidou Centre."

"Defending the urinal's status as art in 1961, Duchamp said he had "taken an everyday article, made its usual significance disappear with a new name, and - from that point of view - created a new and entirely aesthetic meaning for this object".

Aviso à navegação se virarem do avesso algumas obras primas da nossa sociedade não terão a mesma sorte do sr. Duchamp.
