Stop! It's toilet time

Like any other college student I hate writing essays. Recently though we were assigned in class  to write a short paper on appropriation and kitsch much like what we  had to blog about. Anyways, although I found some really neat stuff to blog about already, I found even more cool stuff!!!!

Okay so one of the main guys that started appropriation art was this guy named Marcel and he basically took a urinal off a wall and laid it horizontally and called it art. Well I found some more cool toilet-y things that are kind of a response to it.

This is a huge toilet waterfall!!! Isn't that crazy? They did this exhibition somewhere in China and the installed each toilet individually and then they hooked up water to it and let the magic flow-literally. 

They also did one for kitchen appliances/sinks.

And they also did one for jugs.

I think the jug one is my favorite even though the other two are really interesting as well. Check out my link at the top of this post to go to the website with all the different pictures of the different walls. It even shows the installation progress!

Here is another type of toilet related thing I found while google-ing.

Toilet paper roll art!
Weird huh? 

This picture reminds me of the artist that uses nails and yarn to create her artwork on walls.

I don't really consider this picture art cause I'm not really sure what is going on here, but I think the concept is interesting to take toilet paper (which we probably/should use everyday) to say something about the way we live.
