Lady Gaga Turns A Urinal Into Art
Filed under: Lady GaGa
Everything she touches turns to gold art!
Lady Gaga presented her own piece of art at the Inside/Out exhibition at the SHOWstudio.com shop in London. And it's a urinal!
The piece, which is named Armitage Shanks, was a prop from her recent Vogue Hommes Japan shoot where the pop star was photographed as a man.
The urinal is placed on its side and the back of the bowl reads, "I'm not f**king Duchamp but I love pissing with you." For those of you who don't get it, it's a reference to Marcel Duchamp's Fountain.
Amazing!

Everyone thinks they are an artist and thats fine whatever but they have no idea what a true artist goes through to be so creative.
AMazing?! More like DUMB or Weird! When I see this amazing is one of the last words that comes to mind!
"Amazing"????? Are you fucking kidding me??? You continue to prove that you are the dumbest piece of dog shit on the face of the earth Perez. It's a fucking Urinal!! That is NOT in any way, shape or form 'art'. It is, however, a perfect example of everything that is Lady Caca … total toilet trash.
If Xtina did this you would not think it was a piece of art…
oh,that's tooooo EASY to comment on!
Uhh…It's not "referencing" if it's the exact same thing. That's what we call "copying".
Duchamp is rolling over in his grave. Gaga = Dada? Please.
love it. It's funny and an artistic reference, just like gaga. Oh, and to those who dont understand why it's being called art is because the art community loves and accepts gaga as both a great performance artist and conceptual artist. By the comments its sounds like people dont like it because they just dont understand gaga. Then they ignorantly assume things. its fine. i dont really care.
Kinda lame just copying another artist and adding some one liner on it. Sigh. Art is subjective but this little piece that she presented just flat out sucks.
a toilet, are you kidding me, the only thing amazing about this: how far you can get your head up her ass, the woman could take a dump and call it art and you would call it amazing. have you actually heard this woman sing……i guess i could have my cat make an album is that shit sells
In what way is this "amazing?" It's pretentious , derivative and vapid, just like Gaa herself.
Duchamp wouldn't even bother to piss on her.
clASSy.
This is art, but that James Franco exhibit a while back wasn't. Yeah. Cool.
"For those of you who don't get it, it's a reference to Marcel Duchamp's Fountain."

Oh, puh-leeze - as if you knew what it referred to before looking it up or being told by someone with a brain.
So Lady GagGag scrawls in a urinal and it's art. Hey, if she writes on a table is she chef?
This no talent skank needs to go away. Forever.
Re: DANNYGLOVERSDICKBLOOD –
What he said - totally correct - The DaDaists especially Duchamp are not pleased. Get an imagination. That's it - guess she thought her fans would not be aware of the forfathers of fabulousness and Ms Blow (which is a dis) - now I have to be suspect of everything she does.
Great now all of her ignorant fans are going to believe that she is yet again some type of innovator now ripping off Duchamp…. all she's selling is bull shit…
how appropriate.
MADONNA DIDN’T INVENT ANYTHING EITHER. She started dressing like many post-punk new Romantics already dressed (Borderline), then she “paid Homage” to Marylin Monroe (Material Girl), then she bleached her hair as it as very common mid-80’s (Annie Lennox), “paid tribute” to Hispanic culture (or did she invent the red flamenco dress), followed by Liza Minelli’s Cabaret (Open Your Heart), then had a painful stab at acting. She came back with anti-catholic “concept” (Like a Prayer), followed by “Homage” to art deco and the film Metropolis (Express Yourself), then she went into the gay NY underground scene where people where already Vogueing (she admitted this herself), mashed it up with 30’s style for Vogue (Greta Garbo, Marylin Monroe, Dietrich…. all copies), then, once she went for a harder sound to gain credibility and picked all the XXX films on the stand (Erotica/Sex) alienating her original fanbase (teenage girls and gays), so she moved on to R’N’B sucking the talent out of Babyface and R.Kelly (Bedtime Stories)…
then, once she undeservedly won the Evita role, she copied Eva Peron’s era for 6 singles to come (Starting with Take A Bow), then she moved on to Electronic Music (which started back in the LATE SEVENTIES with Kraftwerk) and made Ray of Light. Around then is when she realised that perhaps she ought to touch a music instrument as she calls herself a musician and began her efforts with the guitar (some 14 years after crediting herself for writing music she COULDN’T write). Then came Music, which was unimaginative Electro (“do you like to Boggie Woggie?”) with Cowboy themes (Erasure’s own Cowboy) and Quentin Tarantino. Then came American Life (Pink Floyd’s themes from the Wall, which was all political and anti-Bush like everything that was produced back then) which obviously sucked and no one bought….
Then, she rushed back to electro, this time with 70’s themes for Confessions (copying Faucett’s, Travolta, Abba, Bee-Gees and anything from that era), yet she realised that the Disney Club and Timbaland were selling more records than her, so she coupled with artists half her age like Britney, Justin, Christina, the Neptunes and Timbaland to make herself feel hip again (Hard Candy/4 Minutes, Give it to Me…) I really don’t know what happened then cause her following singles didn’t chart. Oh yeah, then came Celebration, which was her 5th Hits compilation (out of 13 studio albums) which is nothing more than all her looks put back to back to make her look chamaleonic (like the Celebration Video)….
And now she doesn’t have a record label, cause her current music doesn’t chart, so she tours and tours and is desperately trying to resurrect her image as a filmmaker now that Hollywood closed the doors on her as an actress, and even she she knows she MUST stop wearing yet more corsets and gloves that hide the age of her hands.
SO, THIS IF YOU THINK MADONNA DID IT ALL AND CREATED IT ALL, you probably have no appreciation for other cultures, or pop culture prior to the 80’s, and believes that taking your clothes off is a virtue. Everything’s been done. SO PLEASE, lay off the who-copied-who topic, it’s uneducated and boring.
Some people just enjoy music. PEACE!!!
I specifically came to this thread to find a possitive comment…… still searching.
Is this a metaphor for how her entire career/persona/style/clothing/"art" is ripped off from lesser known people before her & how she knows this & knows her "little monsters" aren't aware of it & will believe ANYTHING she does & she could sharpie sign a urinal & sell it to you as art? wait… haha this could have been a chance for her to create an original piece of art, you know since she is SOOO "artistic" & "creative" but she chose to autograph a urinal which was even ALREADY DONE. She's not artistic she just exploits everyone including herself. & copies EVERYTHING she's ever put out. GOOGLE ISABELLA BLOW!!!!!!!
duchamp had a drag persona DUH thats why she has this piece for her drag persona shoot
get with it people
Re: Lady guyguy –
But I thought Madonna invented Voguing. I thought she brought Latin music to the mainstream. I thought she changed the way women feel about themselves and their bodies and empowered them. At least that's what her fans say. They say it, so it must be true.
For some odd reason I'm surprised she's not wearing it.
Re: Feste – hhahaah like the art movement. good one
PORK FACE, FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING HOLY PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE FUCKING KIDDING ME WITH THIS POST!!!!!! SHE COPIED YET ANOTHER ARTIST-YOUR VAGINA IS SHOWING PORKY FACE PEREZ
Because this shit hasn't been done a million times before. I mean, seriously, this bitch is such a rip-off of everything known to man-kind. She should just live up to the fact that she's a talentless hack who has no original ideas. Stupid bitch.
Re: Lady guyguy –
Thanks..That was good to me.
Re: DeeeeeeLIIIIITEE –
Erhmmm, you're wrong. Everybody knows Lagy Gaga's main influence is Grace Jones, in fact she has some identical outfits, then there's David Bowie, The Beatles, Elton John, Electronic artists and high Fashion (whoever said that thing about Isabella Blow, wonderful! I met her once wearing a Lobster on her hair!
)
The funny thing here is that I'm not disputing Madonna's success, I like her. But she is a popstar. And like Lady Gaga, she stole things in her own day to bring them to prominence. But I've never seen Madonna playing the piano (or any instrument) like Lady does. And lady Gaga actually had a career as a songwriter, writing stuff for Britney, PCD and others, so there MUST know a thing or two about writing.
So instead of being a hateful person posting YOUR unfounded comments a million times over here to force our opinion on us, find something more interesting to feel hateful towards. If you were such a huge Madonna fan, you'll actually realise that she has paid several compliments to Lady Gaga, has done a comedy sketch with her, and goes to her concerts more often than you to go Madonna concerts.
About proving herself, Madonna has 25 years in the industry, LG has 3. I don't need LG to be 60 so I can appreciate Poker Face is a good pop song.
You may also like to know that Madonna didn't invent the cone bra, Jean Paul Gautier designed it for her. Sorry if I brought your goddess down to earth
Re: DeeeeeeLIIIIITEE –
1. I did not say Lady Gaga doesn't copy Madonna, nor that Lady Gaga is an icon, which you seem to be so worried about. She does copy Madonna, many girls do. But this doesn't mean Madonna is the Queen of the Universe because she is a copycat too. She spent ten years trying to look like Marylin Monroe and to emulate her career, and of course FAILED.
2. For you to say that McQueens death was caused by Lady Gaga is the most poisonous thing you could ever say about something so sad and tragic. You really left me speechless.
3. Being someone's muse doesn't mean making the darn bra herself. She has no real talent, other than sucking other people's idea and selling them to queeny, hateful and gullible creatures like you.
CONVERSATION OVER
Re: Lady guyguy –
Why even bother? I've already been back & forth with him in another post because he thinks LG is lying and getting credit for songs she allegedly doesn't write, but he doesn't get it.
Re: DanielDax –
I'm pretty sure deeeeliite is mel gibson in disguise, he has so much hate inside him. He'll punch your baby if you don't kiss Madonna's wrinkly feet like does.
Give up on Oldonna already!
great, good to know where human excrements go to is now a piece of fucking art because gaga says so, fuck her.
a reference to duchamp's Fountain? how about a blantant fucking copy. I shouldn't be surprised though. the woman is incabable of originality. I'm just so amazed that she has everyone so snowed.
Re: TwistinMySobriety –
Madonna did NOT invent voguing! She learned it from drag houses in New York. Watch the documentary "Paris is burning" if you don't believe me.
Re: Lady guyguy – You speak without ignorance. I must say i respect you after reading your posts.
Re: samymarie –
Thank you Samymarie!! You're a star, and I respect you too! xxxx
Where did the urinal cake go? Probably she ate it, mistaking it for a breath freshener.
Re: samymarie –
I know..i was being sarcastic.
Re: Lady guyguy –
And yes, you are very well informed. Like you, I never discredit Madonna's success or even likability, but come on, anyone with an appreciation and/or knowledge of pop history and culture that goes beyond 1984 would know that she didn't invent ANYTHING. It's all been done before.
I love her…but what?
Ikay, i love her but seriously?! The fuck?! o.0
LOL What is this I don't even.
oh. it's lady dada.
stop appropriating everyone you silly little latex clad dish cloth.
Oh my god, if fucking Miley Cyrus did this you'd call her a psycho. You are such a fucking dumbass Perez.
If this has already been done, how is she creating art. Thats like saying T-Mobile is creating art and not ripping off Christo in their commercial. Could you please pull your head out of the overzealous "gaga" fanfare and recognize that she isn't original. She doesn't cut those who came before her off at the knees, so why are you?
Re: TwistinMySobriety – Im glad you were being sarcastic. I love both Madonna and GaGa but Im really just sick of people assuming everything Madonna did was original.
