Tom Otterness, dog killer, now robbing Kansas and Wichita State University Students
Hey Kansas, Wichita State University being robbed of $450,000
Your student fees are being robbed to the tune of $450,000 to fund this man's "art"
This excerpt is from Wikipedia about Tom Otterness.
Journalist Gary Indiana criticized Otterness for an independent work done while part of the East Village art scene in the mid-eighties called "Shot Dog Piece", in which Otterness allegedly "adopted a dog and then shot it to death for the fun of recording his infantile, sadistic depravity on film."
And this excerpt is from the New York Magazine article by Gary Indiana mentioned above.
But I’m repulsed by this show’s inclusion of Tom Otterness, a sculptor of limitless nonentity despite his demonstrated skill at conning public-art commissions and taste-impaired collectors into making him rich. Mr. Otterness, once upon a time, adopted a dog and then shot it to death for the fun of recording his infantile, sadistic depravity on film.
And now your school is paying hundreds of thousands to him for art. Isn't there anything else your money could do for your school? How about the people that can't even afford to go, why not take that money and set up a scholarship? Seriously your school can't think of anything better than to support this kind of person?
Just thought you'd like to know while you or your family works to get you through school your hard earned money is going to him.
