Week 27 - Monkey Art On The Moon











Dogs can read you know. We tear up the paper to hide the fact that we slobber on the pages whilst turning them. I read yesterday that there might be an art chip left on the moon. FAT DOG prefers the Internet and news like this is my favorite!

PBS’s History Detectives TV says there’s a tiny art museum on the moon. This rectangular, half-inch-by-three-quarter-inch ceramic chip was stowed away by the Apollo 12 crew on the great lunar schlep and it’s still up there.
The group canvas is mostly circuitry-esque, geometric shapes. Robert Rauschenberg drew a line. Claes Oldenburg drew Mickey Mouse’s head on a pike with his tongue jutting out. Andy Warhol drew a rocket. The kind that’s in your pants.


Mickey Mouse? Looks like a monkey to me!
