Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Doesn't this chicken appreciate conceptual art? Flying the coop: This chicken has no taste, in art anyway. He's supposed to be part of conceptual artist Noel Harding's (above) exhibit at the Art Gallery of Ontario, walking in leisurely single file with his fellow fowl along a slow-moving endless belt. But?much to the chagrin of Harding?this uncouth character decided he'd rather do his walking on the way back to barnyard.
