Art these days: The Rape Tunnel

Why rape?

Because as an artistic gesture, it’s one of the most impactful I can think of. For the past ten years Ohio’s art scene has been largely centered around a string of alternative spaces in Akron’s warehouse district, where people had been putting on art shows. At the beginning I happily participated along with everyone else but then I started to feel like it wasn’t going anywhere. It dawned on me that if the work we created had never existed the world would be no different than if it had. None of it mattered to anyone outside of our small and insignificant circle of peers. I wanted something that would have more impact.


Fucked up, or VERY fucked up?

haha, this artist is really out there. before this tunnel, he had a "Punch you in the face tunnel"

funny read

Hahaha..

I was thinking the slogan for the tunnel
"You're asking for it."

What if a police officer crawls through the tunnel?

Then I will probably go to jail. But before that I’ll try my very best to sexually assault him or her.

Yeah, saw that in the comments. Apparently, also unoriginal.

If it were real, someone should just throw a hungry bear or hyena in there.

Definitely out there, but the guy got the publicity he wanted. Talk about viral marketing at its best.

if it was real, it should have been called the "Surprise Sex" Tunnel.

Finally, someone who is willing to genuinely push the boundaries of artistic expression! THE RAPE TUNNEL is going to be a seminal work that forces people to reexamine the relationship between art and the observer, between the world and the Heideggerian being-in-the-world. As a side note, I think it’s unfortunate that people are so willing to prejudge a work without experiencing it firsthand. Kudos to the artist!


I love that reply..

I would fucking love to find him/her and show him my art. An axe to the knee caps and call it fucking art. God I hate so many people so much , I wish I could just give people cancer and aids at will. I hate my species.

thought it might be bullshit because of his 'punch you in the face' tunnel. he said he broke a models nose and is in the midst of an unresolved law suit.

you don't need to be a lawyer to know that it'd be stupid to have this tard in your gallery. art fags generally want faux controversy. not actual arrests which culminate into lawsuits.

"As you travel through the tunnel, it gets smaller and smaller, making it so that you have to crawl and put yourself in a submissive position in order to reach the tunnel’s destination."

:rofl:
