6/4/2005: Belgian nest artist spotted in Britain

A month ago we had a rather inferior nest artist in China, who was trying to make a point about isolation. But a year ago we had first seen Belgian artist Benjamin Verdonck performing in a nest constructed on an office building. Verdonck is clearly the superior of the nest artists and proves it with this appearance last week on the Rotunda building in Birmingham UK.

Is he face down on a piece of plexi or something?

Looks like his legs are strapped to something that may even extend up under his coat. :eyebrow:

I guess the windows are taped on the inside for safety.

Nice job of nestbuilding!

I want to see him flap his arms and fly up there with a big hunk of material in his mouth. Later, he should have to regurgitate something into the mouths of five babies as well.

I appreciate art in any form, but I must say this is my least favorite. Very well done tho, I must add. I wish they would place odd looking creatures in them instead of themselves.
It would be super entertaining to watch this guy fall out and splatter.
I've always wondered how hard it is to get the building owner to cooperate...........

Well, if no-one else is going to say it, I will. This is just plain stupid. There.

What's up with the Dr. Evil outfit?

Is that the Lesser Spotted Belgian Artist?

Yeah, he is definitely laying on something. You can tell by the "strappy" looking deals on his legs there, and it almost looks squarish under his Dr. Evil outfit.

What's this supposed to represent? Fly free from corporations?

Whatever it mean's, it's stupid.

Is that the Lesser Spotted Belgian Artist?

Checking my field notes: with the small conical bill and prominent tuft I would say so.

I'm sick of people calling stuff "art" that is just retarded, stupid, senseless, useless and/or psychotic.
If I poop in my hand and run it through my hair, take a picture and call it "le bad hair day", can I be an artist, too?

Only if you are not already in an inpatient psychiatric facility when you do it. In an inpatient psychiatric facility, that is called "Tuesday."

It all went to hell when art stopped being pretty. ;)

wolf - you are going to have to pay to clean my monitor.

and for the rest of you... shut up, you shallow uncouth americans. you are simply jealous that you cannot understand the brilliance of european culture.
