Giant Penis Named Gaia Exploded







To some people, it's junk. To others, it's art.

A three and a half tonne model penis work of art was exploded into the air in Bad Blumau, Austria.

The giant penis artwork "Gaia" measuring over 4 metres was designed by Emmerich Weissenberge, but it has now been blown up during a controlled explosion - in the name of art.

The organic remains of the exploded penis will now be buried in the gardens in Bad Blumau.

The sculptor decided on this stunt as he claimed: "I wanted to express the message that you should not destroy art if you do not understand it, there should be an active dialogue about it."

After a dozen readings, I'm still flummoxed by the sculptor's words. Obviously, I just don't understand art.

By the way, Gaia was a poor representation of a penis before it was blown up. I'd suggest it looks like a cookie on top of an anthill.
