The Dhaka Times Desk What kind of environment is created for defecation in this modern age. This time a golden toilet has been made one step further. If you want, you can defecate in the golden toilet!
Such a news has created a shock in the media. A pure gold toilet will soon be housed in New York's Guggenheim Museum. When you hear about the magic house, you think it's just for viewing, but it's not. Gold will also have the opportunity to use this toilet! Provided, however, that security guards remain close by while using it!
It is known that Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan made this toilet of 18 carat gold. He named the toilet 'America'.
According to media reports, this gold toilet will be installed in one of the public bathrooms of the Guggenheim on May 4. Anyone who enters the museum can use it. It is said that this will replace any of the existing ceramic toilets in the museum. But it will be placed in a room where men and women can go!
You can use this golden toilet if you want and you can also visit it as a visitor only.
Guggenheim publicist Molly Stewart said she believed it was the first time a toilet had been the object of an exhibition at a museum.
According to Cattelan, it is actually based on the concept of economic inequality. However, this means that visitors will make their own decisions.
A full-time security guard is stationed inside this toilet. It is his responsibility to ensure that it is not destroyed.
It is not yet known how much money was spent to make this golden toilet. However, it is said that the price will be lowered when it is put on display.
Notably, many have compared this work of Cattelan with Marcel Duchamp's 1917 'Fountain' sculpture. The artwork was not placed in the New York Art Exhibition. However, 'Fountain' is still considered as the best work of art of the 20th century. It might also be famous like this!
