I have emailed the gallery Nina to see if they can give an update. I will be very annoyed if that email was a prank but it came from Toronto and was apparently on the local news there.

Sally, do you know that the gallery continue to show his work! It may be that you do not hear from them :sad1:

Yes I know they do, it is disgusting but of course the old saying "no publicity is bad publicity" kicks in.

THIS WILL TAKE A MINUTE OF YOUR TIME AND WILL SAVE A CREATURE - AND HOPEFULLY REMOVE
THIS SO-CALLED 'ARTIST'!!! Hi all,this is a very serious matter...In the 2007, the
'artist' Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, took a dog from the street, he tied him to a rope
in an art gallery, starving him to death.For several days, the 'artist' and the
visitors of the exhibition have watched emotionless the shameful 'masterpiece' based
on the dog's agony, until eventually he died.
Does it look like art to you?But this is not all ... the prestigious Visual Arts
Biennial of the Central American decided that the 'installation' was actually art,
so that Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has been invited to repeat his cruel action for the
biennial of 2008. Let's STOP HIM!!!!!Click on the following link :
http://www.petitiononline.com/ea6gk/petition-sign.html or
http://www.petitiononline.com/13031953/petition.html or just copy it in your browser
to sign a petion to stop him to do it again, then digit the name Guillermo Vargas
Habacuc to find the petition to sign.Please do it.It's free of charge and it will
only take 1 minute to save the life of an innocent creature. Please also send this
e-mail to as many contact as you can... Let's stop him!!!If you want to double check
all the above informations you can google the name of the 'artist' to see all I have
just said corresponds to truth.Thank you

More to the point has anything been done to the individual in the USA that invited him to do it again?????

Yes. And I'd like to man the machine gun as people queue up to visit.

I cant post links so I hope you can piece this together - three w's then the following: .stalbansobserver.co.uk/display.var.2234214.0.0.p h p"

Please read this everybody - I hope it doesn't embarrass too much...

I liked this part: "However, Juanita Bermundez, the director of the gallery, said that the dog ate and drank at regular intervals and was allowed to return to the streets from which it was taken once the study was over."
