Lady Gaga's Urinal Prop Becomes Art
Filed under: Art, Celebrity Design

Lady Gaga has made many unexpected things trendy lately but can she work her magic on urinals? The pop star made a surprise appearance at the private preview of Inside/Out an exhibition at the SHOWstudio.com Shop in London late last month and presented her own piece of art, a urinal. She put the urinal on its side next to Terence Koh's bronze casting of a head. The back of the bowl reads: "I'm not f**king Duchamp but I love pissing with you." An obvious reference to Marcel Duchamp's Fountain, one of his "readymades" that were presented as art in the early 20th century. The piece has been named Armitage Shanks and is not for sale. The urinal was a prop from the recent infamous Vogue Hommes Japan photoshoot in which Nick Knight shot Lady Gaga as a man. The images of the model billed as "Jo Calderone" will appear in the magazine's September issue.
