RIP Natividad


OMG I just found the artists OWN BLOGG!!!!!!! HE WROTE THIS it has been translated so in 3rd person in places

I knew the dog died on the following day from lack of food. During the inauguration, I knew that the dog was persecuted in the evening between the houses of aluminum and cardboard in a district of Managua. 5 children who helped to capture the dog received 10 bonds of córdobas for their assistance. During the exhibition some people requested the freedom of the small dog, which the artist refused. The name of the dog was Natividad, and I let him die of hunger in the sight of everyone, as if the death of a poor dog was a shameless media show in which nobody does anything but to applaud or to watch disturbed. In the place that the dog was exposed remain a metal cable and a cord. The dog was extremely ill and did not want to eat, so in natural surroundings it would have died anyway; thus they are all poor dogs: sooner or later they die or are killed.

anyone fancy a trip to costa rica

Ah, thanks for explaining. No I didn't hear about it. It does make me wonder if the artist was making a statement to the world. As you say conflicting information. I dont suppose we will ever know what happened, but it looked on the point of death in that picture. Disgusting.

I agree completely.

Diario La Nación.com (Costa Rica) The newspaper La Nacion, 4th October 2007

Seen in Managua. As part of his display, the artist brought the spectator FACE to FACE with a street dog, emaciated, sick and hungry, tied up in a corner of the gallery. He had captured the animal in one of the poor neighbourhoods of Managua.

The dog died one day after the show opened, as was confirmed to La Nación's Marta Leonor González, editor of the cultural supplement of La Prensa in Nicaragua.

And in spite of this being published in the most important Costa Rican newspaper, Mrs. Bermudez does not DEMAND a rectification by the paper, because if her version that the "dog had escaped" was true, then what the paper had published was false. This is INCONCEIVABLE !!

A dog that is hungry shown tlc and fed is unlikely to run away given the condition of the dog its safe to say it was past running anywhere but you should see jamie sanchos page she has been in touch with witnesses and wspa
