It's just great to have people talking about art, in a meaningful way, and art as a public object (which seems to happen so rarely).

Here the artist says he was trying to make a negative statement about fearless girl -- but in that case I think he should have placed his pig next to the bull.

By putting it next to fearless girl it seems to me he invites a completely different interpretation-- that "pigs" (chauvinist? capitalist?) will downplay the efforts of women.
