Two sculptural lamps originally intended for London Underground’s current ‘Art Below’ exhibition, but subsequently banned for being too offensive.
UK artist Whatsisname is currently offering copies for sale. Each piece takes a month to make. Good Boy (top, the larger of the two) is £2,500 and Good Puppy is £1,000.
And yes, you step on the ‘turds’ to turn the lamps on and off.

You might have noticed that RTE has deemed Ireland’s finest painting to be Hellelil and Hildebrand, the Meeting on the Turret (above).
It’s a nice painting sure, and yeah it really probably is “Ireland’s favourite painting”, but my lord is it ever bland, bland, bland, the kind of twee, chaste sentimentality you’d expect a mostly Catholic country to go for.
Surely we can do better than that? Frankly I’ve a better painting in my living room (this by Sophie Iremonger). So if I may be so bold as to propose a contest on your site today to see if we can have an alternative Ireland’s favourite painting?
The only rule being that the painting has to be in Ireland but not housed in a museum. What do you think?
Over to you.

Performance art is what.
One More Kilometre (because that’s how long that stack of paper would stretch if all the sheets were placed end to end) by UK art duo Harrison and Wood.
We could watch this all day long. And we probably will.

Using rakes and, occasionally, a few helpers, San Franciscan artist Andreas Amador heads out to beaches at full moon (when his canvas is at its largest) to create incredible geometric and organic works of sand art which barely last long enough for him to take photographs. Sez he:
As the tide returns and the design dissolves, the beach returning to its unmarked state, I am given the opportunity to contemplate impermanence, to recognize that all things no matter how great or how large will pass.
Mmf.
