Annals of Inanity–Oceanic “Art”. Nope, this isn’t the red tide, or the after-effects of an Al Qaeda attack on a whale. It’s just the latest offering by Chilean-born shock artist Marco Evaristti, who painted this iceberg off Greenland. “The Ice Cube Project” required 780 gallons of red dye mixed with seawater, 40 minutes, and three fire hoses on three icebreakers. “We all have a need to decorate Mother Nature because it belongs to all us,” the artiste said. “This is my iceberg; it belongs to me.” Uh, okay, Marco. Evaristti’s last stunt took place at a Danish art gallery in 2000. He filled 10 blenders with goldfish, and then invited gallery visitors to turn the blenders on. One did…and animal cruelty charges were subsequently filed. Hmm, I wonder if this guy gets any funding from the NEA…
