My avatar is my pibble, Wilson. He was likely a bait dog that was discarded, and, of the 8 dogs that I have, and he is by FAR the sweetest and most well-behaved one. I want to find these “artists” and beat them to death with a brick.

I just got my first ever pup who’s a pit. She’s my heart and soul. This “art” enrages me and makes me so sad. Pitbulls are natural lovers and super friendly. Only an asshole would make them aggressive and fight.

your dog child is beautiful! the statements the artists are making about the nature of pitbulls show a lack of experience with actual pits. the artists should put themselves in place of those poor dogs, this is exploitation and hack art.

This horrifies me, as a dog lover & pit bull mom. I find the maltreatment this breed suffers heartbreaking. Posting a pic of pup and me just because.

Good point.

Let’s stop referring to them as artists. There is no art being created.

I share Doris Day’s opinion...

Also if you want to start a conversation about systems of power and control how about you paint a depiction of two dogs fighting. Oh - I guess that would require actual talent.

This is fucking insane. This isn’t art. This is cruel. The “artists’” comments really put it over the edge. There is no reason the Guggenheim should endorse this especially after the comments. Shouldn’t have before either, obviously.

They took advantage of the tenacity of the dogs and put them into a highly stressful situation and are calling it, “art.”

This bullshit is just a more pretentious form of edgelording. I know the art world has gone to hell in a handbasket when success in deliberately provoking people to outrage and anger is considered “mission accomplished”.

This is fucking barbaric, no other words for it.

“These dogs are naturally pugnacious”
