'Naked with Pig' - Kira O'Reilly

What's the meaning of art? Is it a shortcut to our philosophy? A concrete vision of our values? A way to present a view of what's important in the world in a single vivid image? Or this:
Kira O'Reilly will provide her own answer today by spending four hours naked, hugging a dead pig - at the taxpayer's expense.
There you go. Tristan Tzara has a lot to answer for.

(And another big thank you to 'the taxpayer,' wherever he or she is.)

Now iif she were boffing a pig of the male chauvinist variety, I would gladfly shell out tax money for that (provided the MCP was yours truly). (Running and ducking the shoes thrown by the (possibly former) love of my bloglife who apparently doesn't want to talk to me anymore!)

I would be keen to put that pig on a spit roast plus cook some taro in a 'umu (hangi) to go with it. Yum.
