Animals / Visual Art Irish Wolfhound Needed for Sodo Art Exhibition

Posted by on Wed, Sep 1, 2010 at 11:41 AM

Documentation from Martin Creeds 2007 Work No. 748. Your wolfhound could get this kind of fame...and free daycare three days a week for three months.
  • Documentation from Martin Creed's 2007 Work No. 748. Your wolfhound could get this kind of fame...and free daycare three days a week for three months.
From September 11 to December 18, Western Bridge is staging a 2007 piece called Work No. 748 by the English artist Martin Creed. Creed won the Turner Prize in 2001, for an installation of a light turning on and off continuously for the entire run of the exhibition. For Work No. 748, an Irish wolfhound and a chihuahua need to hang out in a gallery for the entire run of an exhibition. That's it.

Your wolfhound will be fed and walked and played with, by the gallery staff and, one hopes and imagines, the chihuahua. Is your wolfhound ready for this? (Apparently the chihuahua need has already been satisfied.)

Here's the Craigslist ad. This ain't no joke.

Hell, I did that to my roommate in 1981 by sticking a flasher button in his study lamp when he went to take a leak. Where's my prize?
