At some point, everyone's been in a bar they thought should be called the backside of the world.
But modern artist Joep van Lieshout has gone one better to create the BarRectum at an exhibition in the Austrian capital Vienna.
The building - based on a huge human anus - is part of a series of shocking sculptures on show by the Dutch oddball.
Others include a tourist kiosk in the shape of a human sperm and a nightclub shaped like a decapitated female torso wearing a bikini.
"I'm not sure I'd be that keen on going up the rectum for a quick drink but it's an interesting idea," said one art lover.

Guess this is where you go to meet @$$holes
You will come out shitfaced from that place.
Much like any other bar, you can get a good [i]asskickin'[/i] in a drunken barfight. :v:
Not long until the "all female" bar shaped like a vagina.
i went there, they served a bunch of shitty cocktails and the bartender was an asshole
in the future there will be no signs to tell you what gender is the bathroom. Men's restrooms will be shaped like a penis and women's like a vagina.
I swear, all these so-called artists are batshit insane.
Honestly dear, we spend no time together since our last child. All you do is spend the entire day up your ass!

I thought you said there will be no signs?

That's what the door will be shaped like. Read damn you, read!
It seems like the kind of terrible unlikable thing I'd make if I were an artist. Good thing I'm not an artist.
This makes me feel proud of my country. He also shares the same last name as my mom so we could even be family!

Yep.
Also, the urinals will be shaped like dicks.
Yeah, an "artist". This isn't art.
Ugh, why does it have to be a building? You can't really ignore it if you don't like it. Same goes for the other two.
what a shithole
If they made a bar designed to look like the artist's ego, thousands of people could drink in it.
Who the fuck made that, Kirk Johnson?
[QUOTE=MisterMooth;20532048]I swear, all these so-called artists are batshit insane.[/QUOTE]
Yeah. And they banned me for the penis content in Spore. It's a fucking art :argh:
Modern art (like OP) sucks.

Art is subjective.
That's just retarded.
[QUOTE=Billiam;20542025]Art is subjective.[/QUOTE]
Because you subject people to it?
[QUOTE=Mingebox;20542497]Because you subject people to it?[/QUOTE]
No because it's subjective whether or not it's actually art.
shit post

Anything that gets created by human hands is an art from my point of view.

Art isn't a strictly defined term, it is what the person perceives it as.
That being said, "stupid" is a defined term, and this bar is a stupid idea.
I love how it's called "bottoms up"

It's only art when somebody adds some absurdly esoteric meaning to it so he and his gang of pretentious beret wearing douchebags can elevate themselves above the rank-and-file by pretending to "get" something nobody else does.

Exactly. How do you think a piece of blue canvas, two overlapping projectors showing loops of "inspirational" words, a neon sign consisting of one straight piece, and a video of a woman in a jumpsuit drinking and then spitting back milk from a green jug got into the top floor of the Museum of Modern Art?
Brb, getting a [I]shitload [/I]of drinks.
