What is this new art piece

[jeanette1976]

About a naked woman hugging a dead pig? Can anyone tell me her name or the name of this piece as I've just heard it on the radio and she was getting slated!

Thanks! X

Her name is Kira O'Reilly at a gallery in Newlyn in Cornwall. It's going to be a 4 hour performance with people getting to watch for 10 minutes at a time!!

Is it any good? I only heard snippets while at work!

I was getting naked and hugging pigs throughout the early nineties and I only let people watch once. I had standards.

I forgot to mention that it is on the front page at metro.co.uk - the woman in Cornwall I mean, not me.

God don't you just love it?!
I really admire talentless people who make sh1t loads of money peddling sh1te. Got to hand it to the girl, she must be laughing her head off at all of the "emperors new clothes" arties that'll throng to see her cuddling a dead pig.Brilliant.

Tori Amos had a photo of herself suckling a piglet on one of her albums, didn't she? Odd, but I don't recall that anyone felt they had to abuse her for it.

It may be art, but it isnt artistic. What boundaries is she trying to push? When u compare it to Van Gogh, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Hockney and Damien Hirst in recent times it doesnt stand up. It is basically self w a n k material. Im sure in her deluded mind she can allegorise and demystify it and say we are all phillistines but will anyone seriously remember it in 5,50 or 500 hundred years? She should be ashamed, but she probably hasnt the marbles.
