Maybe the scary thing about lil' mouse gore is that you just can't recycle that shit. You have got to throw it away with lots of lysol and paper towels, unlike stock footage and magazine scraps (my personal favorite). Plus, no one gets to be glamorous for doing art with dead mice...
Enjoy this glamour shot of the artist himself:
OK. I was wrong. You can make art with corpses. One of the best art exhibits I ever saw was Fauna in Barcelona in 2002. The artists Joan Fontcuberta and Pere Formiguera did a whole show and book about a scientist who discovered some very strange species in the same vein as The Museum of Jurassic Technology. Of course, they were brilliant examples of taxidermy that served to open the possibilities of life...
Here is the Ceropithecus icarocornu for your pleasure. According to the scientist's notes, "It is a long-tailed simian with large wings which turn it into an animal eminetly suited for flying...The females give birth inside a large cabin in the village to which only the great shaman has access."
