Well in defense of America, I must remind you all, that the inspiration for the "Pig" exhibit came from Chicago's "Cow' display. Where nary a cow was disfgured - udder than one kidnapping as well! <sorry>
Then followed up with, I believe it was called "The Sweet Home Chicago" furniture exhibit. Which like the cows had designs and photo maches and scultpures of furniture, sponsored by corporations and organizations. Personal fave was the one brought o you by "The FREE PRESS," which featured a photo collage ... which featured a photo of - ahem ... me. I never saw it but I do hear it was THE most desired piece in the collection - LOL! Where did they even get a picture of me?! But seriously there were no real casualties here in Chicago - Surprised?! I'm not - dat ain't our style here in da 2nd city -whaddya tink yer in New York!? DUCK Gooz! -Wouldn't that be a double entendre? ;-P Peace, Susan NP: Diana Krall/Do It Again --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Jim, people are surprisingly law-abiding in Saskatoon, especially > with public art.
