College delicate in its handling of gun sculpture

If she'd taken a crap on a picture of Jesus the school would have no doubt that it was art. They'd display it for more than 48 hours too.

Art is something that evokes emotion. So, any of y'all arguing that "it isn't art, and it irritates/pisses me off/disgusts me because..." are missing the point.

Yeah, she might be anti. But her piece WILL evoke emotion (and already is). In that, I'd say she has done better than many "modern artists"...

It's a 'cute' idea--the kinda thing I might have come up with as a profound vision of my own hippness back in the day at, say, 2 AM.

Think she was disapointed that the police didn't want to 'suppress' her expression? Bet she was.

Is it art? Sure, why not. I can glue a silver dollar to the floor beneath a revolving door at a busy office building entrance and watch people get smacked in the tail trying to pick it up all day, too.
