"Complex Shit", a sculpture by the American artist Paul McCarthy, cast loose its moorings and was lifted by a sudden gust of wind from the Paul Klee centre in Berne and carried 200 yards to eventually make landfall in the grounds of a children's home.
Museum authorities said the work had an automatic safety device that was supposed to make it deflate in the event of a storm - but it failed to operate.

Hahahah! that's hilarious!
-
haha.... imagine if you saw that flying towards you in the wind.
-
It's a sign... indeed the shit is hitting the fan.
-
Every detail of this brilliant story adds to its overall hilarity and I am sure the artist himself who is known for his bizarre sense of humor will be quite pleased with his installation's 'performance'.

Something similar lost it's moorings back in '97.. and made it's way to the big screen.

House sized dog turds? that's just too avant-garde for me.
-
Look kids over there are the Swiss alp and over on the right is a huge flying turd

This is the most awsome thing in the world ever right now.

LOL! Oy. Yes, as our great blue and green marble spins 'round and whizzes past the sun- we tiny humans have found a way to express our grandest of life experiences... "Poo happens... in large amounts, usually near fast operating distribution systems with rotating blades that scatter it everywhere for all to see...". ;-) I would have loved to have seen that...
Blessings to the artist!

If you're going to make enormous inflatable shit you should really consider all the potential dangers before they blow away.
-
This is the most surreal news story I've heard all week - imagine seeing a giant turd fly past your window... I'd start seeking help. Silly art deserves silly consequences - I wonder what the kids in the children's home made of it?
I wonder if the artist is claiming, like Tracy Emin did when her warehouse burned down, that it's all part of the art...

OMG THIS IS HILARIOUS!!!!!
THANKS FOR THE GOOD LAUGH!!-
