david cerny drowns saddam hussein

czech artist david cerny presents, let's say, a special work at this year's belgian arts festival 2006beaufort. it's called shark and exists of a doll of former iraqi dictator saddam hussein in a large aquarium. it might remind you of damien hirst's 1991 the physical impossibility of death in the mind of someone living or even his recent wrath of god.





other artists at this year's 2006beaufort (which takes place at 10 cities at the belgian coast, from april 1st till october 1st) are louise bourgeois, jan fabre, luc zeebroek, daniel richter, koen van den broek, ilya and emilia kabakov and many more. check the 2006beaufort website for details.
