    Buy a limited edition "trash-as-treasure cube" from St. Patrick's Festival Parade in Dublin. Cities can be a filthy places, but to New York artist Justin Gignac, trash is treasure. In his first international project, Justin scoured Dublin's streets on March 17th searching for the perfect trash, then carefully arranged his finds in clear plastic cubes that are transformed into pieces of art, signed, numbered and dated. St Patrick's Festival and Dublin City Council are proud to collaborate in this novel project.

    I'm gonna sell Temple Bar street bins for €200 a pop with authentic puke stains on the side...

    Is this a case of 'the kings not wearing any cloths'. Honest to god,why is it that when some luper claims that a piece of dirt he has is 'art' all the arty fartys agree and pay for it:eek: Should they not be saying,actually no,it's not art,it's crap in a box,but fair play for chancing your arm.Picasso was a chancer too.
