Project WC is online!

Museum of the Essential and Beyond That

invites for the inauguration of the Project WC,

at: http://arteonline.arq.br/museu/bathroom

Everything is always perfect in the virtual museums found on the Internet, =
but our Museum's space does not work that way. Instead, its operations aim =
at fulfilling the dictates of the principle of reality. For example, traged=
y and its esthetic or things we really do not want to think about, have bee=
n shifted (with a touch of morbid humor) to the basement. Bit by bit, we in=
tend to place some problems in the Museum building, because we do not inten=
t it to become an aseptic parody of a real museum.

Today we are launching the bathrooms of the museum. Which is the virtual mu=
seum that shows its bathrooms? Perhaps only the Museum of the Essential and=
Beyond That…

The goal of the Project WC is to amuse people. We hope it hapens, because:

"The most revolutionary act one can commit in our world nowadays is to be h=
appy."

To your confort we built the following bathrooms:

medieval, baroque, primitive, erotic, still life, futurist, concrete, conce=
ptual, web.art

Go to our URL: http://arteonline.arq.br/museu/bathroom (sound and flash pl=
ayer 6.0 required)

Click open, search Marcel Duchamp's urinal, click inside of it and choose y=
our favorite! and go ahead!…;-)

We wish you have lots of fun!
