Getting Caught Up on Art

Usually the biggest hazard of studying abroad are people coming back to to college embracing the double cheek kiss. Now apparently it is getting caught in a umm, vagina sculpture. Like Sally Bowles before him, an American (college student, of course) embraced the German art scene a little too hard.

Intelligencer spoke with the artist Fernando de la Jara:

“When I first read the news,” he told Intelligencer from his home in Arequipa, Peru, “I also smiled. The manner in which he got stuck …”

Right?? But wait, does he have any words of advice, art aside?

“It might also be a little bit the fault of the work,” he added. De la Jara quipped that it was almost as if the sculpture had taken revenge on the kid. “Instead of jumping in, if he had gone in carefully, he wouldn’t have had a problem.”

But wait, does anyone know if he texted the sculpture afterwards?? [Intelligencer]
