When I was there, there was a short line to use it, so after I learned it was a special toilet, I just got in line. I try not to poop in public toilets as a rule, but this seemed like the ideal exception to make.
E: also, it’s a real shame that you weren’t allowed to use it, as use was the primary intention of the artist. I googled it to make sure I wasn’t misremembering…
From the Guggenheim’s website:
I think I must have seen it when there was no line. Nobody expressly told me I couldn't use it, but it was obviously an exhibit, and I don’t make a habit of taking risky poops in art.
If I had only known…
I think what we've shared here is a teaching moment. Everyone: Poop in Art. They probably want you to!
If there isn’t a sign saying you can’t do something, then that means you probably should. Got it.
I can completely understand that conclusion. It’s the first and last piece of art that I’ve literally shit on, and it felt weird doing it. It also made me contemplate why toilet seats are the only item in the world that we are ok touching with our skin after many strangers’ bare asses have touched it.
It’s because, ideally, only the legs and outer cheeks are touching the seat. If a person with short shorts sits in a chair, nobody thinks twice about sitting in the same chair. One anus brushes a seat, and everyone loses their minds.
I was never assuming any anus touched a seat. I was only talking about cheeks.
I thought it was customary to rub your anus all over the seat to mark your territory?
Where does it say you aren't allowed to use it? That quote says you can.
Yes, my point was that you can use it. I know because I did use it, and the quote was there to back up my experience.
Oh, "you" referred to that individual instance, I read it as the general.
This is why more people should adopt the second person plural "y'all".
Haha. I’m with you on the “y’all” usage. Ambiguity is annoying.
Or we can go back to using the singular thy and reserve you for plural like in romance languages.
Oh, heavens, no! I wouldn't be heard uttering such vulgar language.
