art????

I wonder to what extent can artists use their right to shock and where the boundary between an art statement and a mere provocation lies...If I hang dead human foetuses on a line to make people think about the interaction of life and death will that make me an artist or a provider for deviated minds?

Can someone tell me what the last three posts are referring to? Obviously not thehandsom's last post but the thread is too long for me to wade through and look for it! (just out of curiosity following the three comments)

Pictured is Elena the goat on the 6th April 2008. A luckless Bulgarian farmer who was been married three times has now married his goat. Stoil Panayotov, exchanged his third wife with Elena the 8-year-old goat at a livestock market in March - because she couldn't provide him with a child. The extraordinary deal was concluded in front of a stunned crowd in the market town of Plovdiv, central Bulgaria.
