The Continuation of Odd Art
I've realized that a rather large percentage of my "Odd Art" posts seem to focus on bodily functions, so I thought I should post something non-Freudian for once. I didn't want readers to start asking me about my mother, inquiring if I have penis-envy or analyzing whether or not I suffer from hysteria and other variously charming complexes.
The rest of the blog should be quite adequate for that.
Fat Car, by Austrian artist Erwin Wurm, really seems to epitomize the current cultural mood in America today. Or perhaps it epitomizes the current physical state of America today; I really can't tell the difference.
And that's all we really need to say about that, isn't it?

pinhut: for a while, I did consider devoting the blog to various bodily functions (please note my early post(s) on farting). However, I thought I would just be pissing in the wind and making a bunch of shit up.
Love the fat car. But it looks like the "artist" started with a cheap piece of junk, rather than a nice, big Buick Regency. Now there's a car that knows how to get fat.
If he had wanted to capture the mood of America, he would have done it with a monster truck (with sharp teeth). I don't know why but "Fat Car" reminds me of flatulence.
Reminds me of a squished marshmallow with a mouth. Will share w/ my daughter, the one who is into classic cars- in fact all model cars-She already razzes me about my opennes about penises and such, anyway..
Hehe ...
... I thought it said "fast car" and I was going to make some joke about it being likely pregnant ...
... does that revert back to bodily functions? Its a good thing the car doesn't have red wheels ...!
i feel like there should be something witty to say, but i just woke up. maybe it'll come later.
It's hideous - but it is smiling.
It does look marshmellowian. Are there wheels on this car or does it just sort of slide along on a layer of lard? Could be tough taking corners...
It's the Pillsbury marshmallow car!
Larry: you ain't just whistling Dixie
Comfort Addict: I think you might make a better artist than Erwin Wurm. I COMPLETELY agree that a monster truck with fangs would be much better
Green-Eyed Lady/Silver Moon: I also love classic cars, but I'm not exactly sure if that is what this is
April: I don't think we'll ever get completely away from bodily functions on this blog -- it's all just part of the service we offer...
Mr. Anigans: I shall wait with bated breath
moos: it does look that way, doesn't it?
glomgold: I imagine it must ooze along on a layer of lard -- seems to be the most efficient thing to do
rhodent: thanks a lot. now I'm hungry. again.
If you flip the car upside down it looks like a cute litte creature that's sleeping.
Awwwww..
They make bras for grills. Maybe they could make a girdle for the front quarter panels on this baby.
Well done, L.
I thought it looked rather like a grub with gas.
i'm sorry...it never came....work seems to have sucked the wit from me.
