The Rape Tunnel being fabricated in Richard Whitehurst’s Columbus studio.
Richard Whitehurst is a Columbus-based artist who made his mark on the Ohio scene by showing at the William Strunk Jr. Museum of Contemporary Art in Akron and internationally regarded galleries such as Alexandria Asheton Gallery and Seward Projects Space. He was the 2006 recipient of an Akron Culture Committee fellowship and has quickly become a seminal figure in the often overshadowed Rustbelt regional art scene, rapidly moving from sculpture and installation to more challenging situational based work that would make Nicolas Bourriaud’s head spin.
In fact, his new controversial work, THE RAPE TUNNEL, which is set to go on view at Columbus’ 4D Gallery on October 30th, has come under fire from Columbus-based feminist groups not to mention, local law enforcement officials. The artist plans to place himself in a room, the only entrance or exit being a 22 ft long plywood tunnel constructed by Whitehurst himself. Then he says that for the duration of the gallery’s opening (from 7:00 p.m. to midnight) he will rape anyone who travels through the tunnel into that room.
On a recent trip to Ohio, nearly all art-related conversation stirred wildly around Whitehurst and his tunnel, with half the people hailing him a vastly important figure to keep an eye out for, while others regarding his work as cheap and exploitative – not to mention very dangerous.
We’ll let you readers decide. The following interview was conducted on September 22nd via e-mail correspondence.
Please describe the project.
In the 4D Gallery main room, I’ve constructed a 22 ft tunnel out of plywood that leads into the project room. There is no way in or out of the project room except for this tunnel. As you travel through the tunnel, it gets smaller and smaller, making it so that you have to crawl and put yourself in a submissive position in order to reach the tunnel’s destination. At the end of the tunnel the subject will find me waiting in the project room and I’ll try to the best of my ability to overpower and rape the person who crawls through.
Why rape?
Because as an artistic gesture, it’s one of the most impactful I can think of. For the past ten years Ohio’s art scene has been largely centered around a string of alternative spaces in Akron’s warehouse district, where people had been putting on art shows. At the beginning I happily participated along with everyone else but then I started to feel like it wasn’t going anywhere. It dawned on me that if the work we created had never existed the world would be no different than if it had. None of it mattered to anyone outside of our small and insignificant circle of peers. I wanted something that would have more impact.
I started to think differently about my work. In 2007 at the Seward Projects Space in Columbus, I had my first breakthrough with an installation that was to be the prototype for this current one. It was called THE PUNCH-YOU-IN-THE-FACE TUNNEL. It was the same set-up as THE RAPE TUNNEL except at the end of the tunnel I’d punch the subject in the face instead of raping him or her. The impetus was completely reactionary to the current state of art, and motivated by pure frustration.
As it turns out, I ended up breaking the nose of the third person to crawl through the tunnel, an aspiring model. She went to the hospital and eventually sued me. Her modeling career was put on hold. The civil case was long and drawn out and the matter still hasn’t been resolved. To this day she still has unpaid medical bills. The point of this long aside is that all this took place two years ago, and I’m still having an impact on this young lady’s life, something not many other artists could claim about their work.
Rape seemed like the next logical step.
Richard Whitehurst.
But rape is way more extreme than a punch to the face. Is your intention to ruin people’s lives?
Possibly. I’m not necessarily concerned with the positive or negative effects of this project so long as there is some effect on people’s lives. I’ve merely set up a situation where there is potential to impact people in meaningful ways. Maybe I won’t be able to rape everyone who crawls through the tunnel, but the door is open for all kinds of scenarios; rape, serious injury, maybe even death. I might even get arrested.
Right now the installation isn’t even complete, and I’ve riled up a substantial portion of the local population. The installation as an idea is powerful enough itself.
By “substantial portion of the local population” are you referring to people that have been protesting this event?
Yes.
How do you feel about the protesters?
I’m fine with them. They have the right to speak out against this installation. The project would be an utter failure if it didn’t create this kind of open dialogue.
Are you pro-rape?
Not really. I personally think rape is morally reprehensible and something that should generally not be allowed in our society. Most people feel this way, which is why the act is exploitable for the purposes of my work. If people were not so repulsed by rape then this project would fail.
Does this mean you’re willing to go to jail for the sake of your work?
I am. The local authorities are already threatening to have this exhibition shut down. Caroline Miffen [4D Gallery director] to her credit has hired a team of lawyers working hard to ensure that THE RAPE TUNNEL will proceed as planned. At the end of the day there’s a disclaimer on the door so people know what they’re getting into.
It would seem that what you are proposing to do will not technically constitute rape for the obvious reason that whoever enters into the tunnel is acting of their own free will, therefore making the act consensual. If you aren’t really raping anyone, doesn’t that undermine the credibility of the project?
First of all, I want to make it clear that I plan to make the experience as unpleasant as I possibly can to anyone who dares to crawl through the tunnel. I will try to the best of my ability to make them regret their decision.
Secondly, rape is not always a black and white issue. The definition is argued almost everyday in courtrooms around the country. The woman who gets too drunk one night and regrets having sex the next morning, was she raped or not? There is no easy answer. I hope some of that ambiguity will manifest itself in this project.
Richard Whitehurst.
Do you have any limitations on the kind of person you’ll rape?
None whatsoever. It could be men, women, old, young, fat, thin… anyone.
What if a police officer crawls through the tunnel?
Then I will probably go to jail. But before that I’ll try my very best to sexually assault him or her. The tunnel is constructed in such a way that it gets smaller the closer you get to the project room. The bigger you are, the more difficult it is to comfortably crawl out. And trust me, I have a lot of secrets up my sleeve to ensure that I can overpower anyone that comes through the tunnel.
Where do you go from here then, a “Murder Tunnel”?
No. That would be too much like repeating myself. I’ve thought about this long and hard.
I’m in danger of painting myself into a corner here and I fear that the sensational aspects of my work might overshadow my ultimate message. If I could somehow cure some disease in the name of art, that would be interesting.
The problem with most of today’s art is that it’s being created for a world that doesn’t want or need it. So many other lesser modes of expression have taken the place once held by art in the culture. I’m trying to totally reconfigure art’s importance in the world and make it meaningful. The process will take a long time. I’m not really sure what the next step will be. I’d rather concentrate on the current project[.]

This artist has issues. Serious issues. He should get fixed and them begin making art again. Perhaps he could perform oral sex on the individuals when they reached the end of the tunnel. This would be a much nicer gesture.Loving Gestures are more powerful than violence!
What an idiot. Rape is not a form of artistic expression. In this work, the tunnel and the exhibition strategy itself is the locus of artistic expression, while he himself is a sexual predator setting himself up in the middle of the spider’s web. Rape is so against moral codes that no one should reasonably expect to be raped if they reach the end of the tunnel, and he should be arrested if he tries. Perhaps someone extremely well trained in self defense will go in there and kick his ass. That would be a good show.
This guy in an insensitive anus. As a result, he’ll get get a ton of attention, which is clearly what he’s looking for. I have a suggestion for his next work: The Hole. He should dig it, enclose himself in it, and stay there.
Finally, someone who is willing to genuinely push the boundaries of artistic expression! THE RAPE TUNNEL is going to be a seminal work that forces people to reexamine the relationship between art and the observer, between the world and the Heideggerian being-in-the-world. As a side note, I think it’s unfortunate that people are so willing to prejudge a work without experiencing it firsthand. Kudos to the artist!
I am construction a pig flu covered robot with vagina dentata (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagina_dentata) which I will send down the tunnel. It is the logical response.
Wow – all these years on the Internets and people still can’t spot a good hoax.
Calm down people – it’s not real.
Can I bring my dog?
Can I bring my dog and pet snake along?
Someone should turn this into the Self Defense Tunnel and shoot this asshole in the fucking face
I hope he gets arrested. This man is sick.
http://www.geversaircraft.com/wt/wt5x7.htm
Nothing about any of the mentioned names exists, either. A fabricated story, if a somewhat entertaining one at that!
Mineral was the fourth comment a few minutes ago, so they’re still being front-loaded. Are any showing up afterwards?
If you dont want to get raped, dont go in the RAPE TUNNEL, you know, like avoiding the punch you in the face tunnel. God people are idiots.
This is FAKE, the “tunnel” pictured is a wind tunnel produced by the Gevers Aircraft company, seen here: http://www.geversaircraft.com/wt/wt5x7.htm
The pictures here were taken directly from their website. Something I’m sure they would love to know.
Stunt by an artist to sucks.
So what will you call the tunnel after someone shoots you in the face for attempted sexual assault? Maybe the “Justifiable Homicide Tunnel”?
Watch out for the light at the end of the tunnel…..it’s a muzzle flash!
This whole “RAPE TUNNEL” concept has been done. See:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH-s8PYbimc
It would be far more courageous of the artist to place himself in the lower status submissive position, allowing his viewers or “participants” to do as they will to him-Yoko Ono did that often, and a nice bond was formed. I suspect (hope) someone will go in there with a lead pipe and crack his head open as he makes his move. Art should sometimes terrify, but not shred the viewer.
Dude isn’t insensitive or an asshole.
He’s a psychopath.
Epic Troll is Epic
“Stunt by an artist to sucks.” I totally agree with this sentence.
Crichlowe,
There is no such thing as a “Heideggarian Being in the world”. Heideggar did not have a system…if you are talking about Heidegger’s work, “Being and Time” or continental philosophy in general you are talking about dasein (being in…) or worlds, or moods, or modes of Art and so on…You need to be more specific other wise you are just slinging philosophical names around like a clueless commentator…do you actually understands anti-philosophy?
Already booked my tickets!!!
going to get my puck hole filled

GEEZ THATS A RELIEF. but lurker server down for a week was real.
if this guy wants to make an impact in the world and a real possitive one, he should make a suicide tunnel and be the first to use it
Protesters of this work should spend more time protesting bonsai kitty.
hoax art is a hoax.
the GOAL of the project is to make people REACT. same as bonsai kitty. so please, protest, holler, rant, rave. get local media attention on a HOAX. or better yet, ask the real question, WHO THE FSK IS GOING TO WALK DOWN A ‘RAPE TUNNEL’ OR A ‘PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE TUNNEL’…. kmon use common sense, or is that still a super-power?
I seriously don’t believe this is real. Why would an art gallery willingly let someone rape another person? First of all it’s against the LAW, and it would probably put their gallery, and their jobs, in jeopardy! If this IS real, this guy is sick and should be shot in the crotch…. then he’ll remember his impact forever. He’s obviously an attention whore.
The purpose of this imaginary art installation is to provoke angry responses from idiots on the internet who actually believe it to be real. This project has been an overwhelming success. Everyone who took this seriously and responded in anger should take a moment to reflect upon their own stupidity.
I think this artist has a violent streak and people should boycott his display.
Rape is a power trip and violent.
This artist is a nut case in my opinion.
This is not art but a travesty!
hahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahhaha
it’s about time someone stood up for the rapists and the rapers in this country. rape is the single most gratifying sexual act that i have ever been party to, both as a giver and a receiver.
Reminds me of the old Roman gladiator matches. Yes we all want to see what happens. Evil lurks in blessed shadows. This is reality art. He is surly underestimating the destruction he invites.
Obvious troll is obvious
I feel you are all missing the point.
He is, and WILL, be expressing her artistic form in a way that has caused you to react. He has won and I think its genius. Rape, punching in the face, murder, it doesn’t matter. he already impacted the world with this ingenious piece. I say kudos to him and wish him the best in his future projects.
Mr. GAYden,
I never indicated that Heidegger used a system; I was simply contextualizing a relevant phrase that would have made little sense on its own. Being for Heidegger is always “Being-in-the-world.” I’d like to apologize for not writing my comment in German, since you appear to believe that all references to a given thinker should be made in the language in which he composed his major works. That being the case, however, I take issue with your sloppy translation of ‘dasein’ as “being in…” I would prefer “there-being,” which communicates the spirit of his thought much more effectively in English. I suppose I’m going to have to download an Attic Greek character set to make comments about Plato… By the way, you wrote this:
“Do you actually understands anti-philosophy?”
This underscores my next point, which is that you are an idiot. And probably gay.
Thank goodness for people smart enough to check to see if something is a hoax before getting all riled up. Thanks to the couple of people who posted this in their comments:
http://www.geversaircraft.com/wt/wt5×7.htm
Is there franchising opportunities for this endeavour?
Can’t you see people, there is no RAPE TUNNEL as already pointed out the tunnel is a hoax this article is the real piece of art. It got you to react it got you to think about a vital part of the human experience, Morality. Think about it.
Blogs and posts like this never cease to bring out the most stupid and easily offended prudish people in the world. No one actually creates a rape tunnel. Ever. This is OBVIOUSLY a joke and 90% of these people are to marvelously stupid to see that this is a joke. For the offended – come on grandma, crawl back in your own hole and sit there until your useless life wastes away, your lack of humour is not necessary for the survival of the gene pool.
This man is not an artist. He is a sadistic psychopath that needs to be locked up as soon as possible.
This is horsecawk… This guy is stealing my thunder. I created the “RAPE TUNNEL” a long time ago. I actually call it my basement
it’s real…and you all are gonna get raped. This is the funniest idea ever. If someone were to actually walk down a “Rape Tunnel”, it’s not rape cause they consented as soon as they entered.
WHAT THE FUCK
FAKE
http://www.geversaircraft.com/wt/wt5x7.htm
This is not art. Art is not coming up with the next big shock. It is not throwing dead animal bits over your audience or daring them to come into a hole so you can rape them.
Someone please, for the sake of art and humanity, burn this down with him in it.
the rape tunnel is you. every day you are in the rape tunnel and are both rapist and raped
look around you with eyes that see the truth and all you will see is
the walls of the rape tunnel
This is why mass executions is warranted…because people believe that this satire is true.
Of course, all usable organs will be donated to the deserving people…the innocent.
I think that the comments the artist made about artwork no longer being valuable in the same ways is very true. I also feel that as an artist you have a responsibility to convey a truth or reality that is as pure as you can possibly make it, with as little compromise as possible. If his disgust for rape is less important to him than his disire to create art with a life long impact than this is the right choice for him as an artist, but I can say as an artist i value a different set of ideals. If I thought I could take him I would walk right down that tunnel and rape him myself. I think art lacks truth when it is created without real life experience. If he has never been violently raped I would find it most interesting to know there was just a bit more conflict to this situation. The sport of it seems a bit more fair. Just imagine the beauty of his life being changed forever by art of his own conception.
Fuck yeah, I’m taking my students on a field trip
This artist needs help. He’ll learn the value raping someone by getting himself raped in prison….
If this is real, then it wouldn’t really be rape. As stated, it would be consensual.
All you retards, whether the tunnel be real or not, the only psychopath is someone who would willingly walk into the “rape tunnel” as it would be clearly labeled as such.
That would be like jumping into a wood chipper after reading the warning label.
Real or fake, it’s an interesting project. Obviously, if a person read the warning, and then traveled down the RAPE TUNNEL, they’d have no right to complain about BEING RAPED in the RAPE TUNNEL.
However, the project wouldn’t be as interesting if people didn’t protest it…
Probably not real, but if it is we should get someone like Mike Tyson who is tough, mean and has an attitude to go down the tunnel. After Mike beats his ass and bites his ears off, he’ll BE art.
HAHA You are obviously so antiquated as to believe ‘art’ means dick at all. You’ve lost your place in history. Deal with it. Move on. But unlike every other contemporary ‘artist’ whos very title suggests their delusional mind set you’ve regressed to quite possibly criminal activity..all so people will ‘pay attention’ to your fuck off little ‘art scene’. Piss off.
I don’t buy Whitehurst’s justification for rape as a “situation that impacts people in meaningful ways.” No doubt, it does, but since he also claims, “I’m not necessarily concerned with the positive or negative effects of this project so long as there is some effect on people’s lives,” why should he make that effect negative at all? his art career would end in prison and he violates his own (stated) moral beliefs. I recognize that rape is one of the most extreme things you can do to another person, but that also lets me infer that Whitehurst lacks the creativity to think of a tunnel that gives a profoundly positive impact on an individual, rather than punching in the face, raping, or killing.
I am going to rape some slut just because of all you hysterical idiots.
Crichlowe and Haden,
You both need to STFD. Philosophical claims, unlike art, don’t just mean whatever you want them to mean.

LOL @ this tool thinking this is real
Fine with me! You have concealed carry there, right? Mr. Whitehurst, meet my friend Mr. Glock. Problem solved.
The only way I seriously see this going down if it was real is Richard Whitehurst getting choked out by a BJJ BlackBlack. No one with out a certain strength or skill and sure confidence would dare enter the tunnel.

– Getting Raped. Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it.
Ok, it’s pretty evident that this “artist” is a total douche looking for attention. But you have to wonder if the idiots who knowingly enter this tunnel don’t deserve whatever they get.
If he is bringing his dog, may I bring my gerbil?
I have to be honest, I think the idea is genius. I almost want to go through myself and try to defend myself, but thats something I may easily regret. I wonder how he’s gonna keep it up to rape anyone. Viagra is the obvious answer, though if he doesn’t bother with it, then I feel it’s time to start worrying about his integrity.
I suggest you delete all the comments following the article. They are superfluous.
Its pretty evident that this is a hoax chiil out haha
artist is an AH to be sure.. I’d like to have an impact on his life, with a sledge hammer.
Hey, it’s a rape tunnel, if you want the cuddle tunnel go somewhere else. If someone gets on their hands and knees and crawls through the rape tunnel, then they will be raped, if they don’t want to be raped dont go through the tunnel. I hope he “rapes” lots of people.
Re: Curious
You’re assuming he would use his equipment. I’d assume, to keep up, he’d use artifical equipment so as to not be caught unprepared.
..not that this isn’t a joke. Unless it’s also a wind tunnel as well as a rape tunnel – http://www.geversaircraft.com/wt/wt5x7.htm
I would never approve of an installation like this, but I’m putting my former art student hat on. So the installation is called the rape tunnel and explicitly states that the artist will do all in his power to rape whoever enters. As ‘the rapist’ he’s indifferent to the morality of his intended actions, he just wants to get what he wants. The public are contributing to the installation just by having any reaction to it – any reaction, even turning one’s head and looking the other way is essential to the installation. If knowing that someone is a rapist, do they still put themselves in a position of submission to him? Do they protest his actions? Do they go all vigilante on his ass and kill the guy? Do they ignore it?
Unfortunately, the installation is missing the crucial fact for anyone that actually wanders in there – No rapist is going to announce himself to his victim right off the bat. More than anything, this installation would be a commentary on the people that know he is ‘a rapist’ and don’t do anything.
If only everyone would react as vehemently toward a rapist as they do to this article.
Isn’t it fascinating that most of the media addled blog-happy dullards who just couldn’t wait to denounce this minor provocation have egregious spelling and grammar errors in their posts? I am, as it were, not surprised. Art isn’t dead because artists resort to such inelegant extremes, it is dead because the gallivanting mass of tube-fed reactionaries posing as liberal epicures haven’t the wits, or the guts, to be honestly engaged and therefore demand such inelegant extremes. On second thoght, it isn’t fassinating at all… just tippical
Dear artist,
If you really want to make an impact on the lives of people, you should just buckle down and become an architect.
I have built two homemade cars and my next project will be two rap;e tunnels to rape Leftists, illegal immigrants and Bridgit Gread.
Sorry, but rape isn’t considered as artistic. As an art student, I consider art is something you make to give people a smile on their face or making people at awe at your work in a good way. Sure, you can do emotional art, but without hurting someone.
Raping is consider a sick ideal where you try to destroy someone’s life with physical violence. And I will not accept such thing as art.
It is nice post.. i enjoyed it too much
thanks buddy

This man is a brilliant artist, it would be an honour to get anally intruded by him. Me and my wife will be visiting and she will love it. bring on the rape!!
Shame it’s a hoax – fancied a stroll down it!
utter rubbish, not even worth discussing
I agree that Oral Sex or any sexual act in general at the end of the tunnel would be a much better option than rape.
In the case of sexual experience at the end of the tunnel, it would truly impact everyone’s lives because who gets to go to an art show and say “Guess what! I went to an art presentation and had sex in it with the creator!”
I don’t know about you, but that would be a pretty big impact on my life.
I’d love to have a crawl through this tunnel. I’d pop out through the end and I would show him my artistic ability, by painting the walls on the inside of the project room with his fucking brain after I pop him in the head with my .45
fucking idiot.
I’m trying to decide which would be more funny: this whole thing is a farce, or it is exactly face-value truth.
The interviewer stole my first question, the obvious: “What’s next, a murder tunnel?”.
He keeps using the word “meaningful” without ever saying anything that supports the idea that there is anything meaningful about the work, and he doesn’t get challenged on this point. The interviewer, if this is real, is an idiotic tool, and as such, possibly worse at being a person than the artist himself.
My favorite statement from the artist is: “The problem with most of today’s art is that it’s being created for a world that doesn’t want or need it.” He then goes on to say nothing to indicate, in any persuasive way, that his art is wanted or needed by the world, but does once again invoke the word “meaningful” in a meaningless way.
He’s a genius, of a sort, and anyone who crawls through that tunnel is an idiot, of many sorts.
Personally, if this is real, I think the best outcome would be for a very strong person, wearing a firmly strapped safety helmet and crotch cup, should crawl through the tunnel and murder this sick fuck, thus giving him what he probably wants most of all: martyrdom to his idea of art. I wish I could be that person. Think of it. Someone you can kill with zero guilt. See? He’s already manipulating and corrupting my thinking with his amoral world view. Thus, his “art” is already successful.
Like I said, a genius.
Do me a favor, talk Brian Teasley of Atlanta GA into entering the tunnel. These two deserve each-other.
My previous comment is “awaiting moderation”. In this context, does that not seem somewhat absurd?
http://www.geversaircraft.com/wt/wt5x7.htm
The joke is on me! All I had to do was read the other comments and I could have avoided making a fool of myself.
Well done. You may now delete *all* of my comments, dear moderator. Please?
This is art, for sure. The fine art of trolling that is.
What a dick
I WENT TO THE ART GALLERY, AND ALL I GOT WAS RAPED.
Building a tunnel seems like an unnecessary waste of time.
http://www.geversaircraft.com/wt/wt5x7.htm
Bah, zis guy is a plagiarising scheiße.
I tried to patent ze “repeated incestuous rape and imprisoned for life” tunnel, but ze authorities did not appreciate ze artistic gesture.
This is absolutely fucking hilarious!!
Rape = fun for all! This guy is a genius! A modern day Einstein
nice article. written well.
you people are so stupid of course its a fake , you are the sort of folk who wrote letters about the devilishly wicked ” brass eye ” because you though it was real . Retards !!!!!!!
too bad it’s not really, otherwise i’d say count me in. think of all the other people out there that could finally have their darkest fantasy come true.
Entartete kunst
I personally think this is a great idea! By making this, the artist is making a statement. Going in through the tunnel is the art viewers CHOICE no one is forcing said person to go get raped, it’s a choice made by an individual.
this whole thing is hilarious. thanks internet.
Awesome idea.
It’s not rape if you announce it three weeks in advance.
It would be quite intersting if someone with HIV decided to take a small trip through the tunnel. Reverse it so they were having an “impact on his life” years later. Either that or send Floyd Mayweather Jr through the tunnel and see how he likes a punch in the face. All that aside…if you don’t want raped don’t climb through the tunnel
Statistically speaking, 9 out of 10 people enjoy gang rape.
I completely agree with the artist. However I hope he realizes that the rape train has no breaks.
two words:
Chuck Norris
The “artists” rape is a figurative one. Those of us who have commented on this page are beholden to the him/her/them, we are part of their “piece”, they have raped us. Unfortunately they are probably not creative enough to come up with a work that engages people in a way that does not exploit them. Maybe they never read Susan Sontag.
Nothing wrong with a little consented ‘rape’ to start the day…
At first I was like –> :O
…but then I put on my rape face >:D
This rocks!
Dudes like this contribute to the unfortunate impression that many people unfamiliar with the art world have: that artists are douchebags. I think it’s mostly just this guy that’s a douchebag. I have to question the judgment of any gallery owner that would allow this, though.
if Dick Whitehurst is looking for impact, why not send a large convicted male rapist with a long history of brutally abusing cellmates in there with him. i can’t imagine a more appropriate happy ending…
Not many people have the opportunity to enter a situation knowing that it will assuredly bring on violence. Perhaps the artist is unaware that the roles of victim and aggressor can be changed very easily with such knowledge.
In other words, the person most likely to enter the tunnel will be someone who is intent on making sure the artist suffers for his art.
What a pathetic cunt.
i hope someone bigger and stronger rapes HIM in his tunnel…
Its not rape if you agree to go through the tunnel.
Also: free sex is cool
Are there any large, strong, gay men willing to stop by and just pound this guy a new asshole in his little tunnel? Ya know, for the sake of ART? What a douche. Art fag.
one thing i find interesting is that people are upset about something that hasn’t even happened to them, and never will, so long as they don’t crawl down a tunnel. they are upset by the concept of what someone might do to someone else, somewhere else, and feel the need to control it.
Rape Tunnel?
MINE!
I’m sending a porcupine down that tunnel. Rape that!
This is typical of the Columbus, Ohio art scene.
Now would it be bad if people started calling it, the kill the rapist tunnel, and simply walked in and killed you.
fucking fake piece of shit article
Suddenly: a child goes through:
“I AM 12 AND WHAT IS TH– OH GOD”
for fucks sake, you idiots, it’s a goddamn HOAX. http://www.geversaircraft.com/wt/wt5x7.htm
It’s a hoax. Though if someone were to do this I say go in with a gun. Turn it into the would-be-rape-but-turned-into-a-case-of-self-defense tunnel.
A gloriously stupid abuse of the first amendment would become a great supporter for the second amendment.
I dont understand one thing- is there actually worthwhile art at the other end of the tunnel for those who are willing to risk rape?
Sounds fun. Can’t wait to come try it, I mean, come see it.
Sewage tunnel is the best next step.
Make them crawl through a tunnel filled with human excrement. When they reach the end there is a plastic door that wont open. They must look up where you are sitting on top of a toilet bowl. When they look up you shit down on their face and then open the door so they may exit.
This could be accomplished by taking multiple laxatives and eating lots of Mexican food.
Obvious next step.
Well KAT has the best comment so far,
“More than anything, this installation would be a commentary on the people that know he is \u2018a rapist\u2019 and don\u2019t do anything.”
and I guess I’ll also say that you people who seek to meet violence with violence are never going to be free of it. If you enter the tunnel with the intention of having sex and making it easy for him to avoid violence then perhaps you will defeat him more thoroughly than just sending in your chuck norris.
make love not war
Thanks for the information, I am building my own rapey time tunnel in Brighton.
Pretty intense, I sociology expert would have a great time with this.
I think that someone with AIDS should stroll down that tunnell and give that loser HIV baby! and then when he’s done raping you, say… “I have AIDS, and now you do too! Put that in your pipe and smoke it dirtbag!”
Obviously a hoax….but what kind of demented shitbird thinks something like this up??
I do love black and white topics reframed, but on this one besides the intentionally contentious topic I’m missing the point. Or richard is. Whatever the exploratory definition of rape is, it’s an act without consent. So the name, location and little note on the door is a little trite for a morality issue.
perhaps its just performance art. maybe there is no real danger.
either way, he has certainly been successful. getting the reaction he wants.
i do think that the issue of defining rape is interesting.
ultimately the viewer is accountable in making a decision to venture in or stay out.
right?
whether this is a joke or real, it is never okay to make light of rape. any of you idiots that are suggesting that this would be okay have obviously never been raped or sexually assaulted. crap like this just leads to others thinking rape isn’t a big deal, or that it is socially acceptable.
if this is real – dude, you need help. anyone that is willingly going to spend so much time thinking up “a lot of secrets up my sleeve to ensure that I can overpower anyone that comes through the tunnel” is sick and will end up becoming power crazy. sitting around thinking about how to hurt people is what leads to active violence. people become consumed with it and become “crazy”.
love people. let’s remember the love.
I have a really simple way to turn this ‘art’ into a real exhibit, a few gallons of diesel fuel/gas mixed, and a match.
Is there a Rape Tunnel facebook group?
I’ll be sure to pack my gloc-9 before checking out this exhibit.
he should arrested for premeditated and attempted rape.
I’m not familiar with Ohio’s gun laws, but it seems to be this guy could get himself killed by someone with a concealed handgun permit. Wonder how that’d impact his “art?” Grow up, you talentless hack.
HOLY SHIT I THOUGHT MY STUFF WAS CONTRAVERSIAL!! lol
This guy’s work is not that revolutionary, trust me my work pushes way more limits then his. I just hope someone with AIDS goes in with a bloody diseased anus, gets raped and then asks him how he loves his new AIDS
Only in America, where the artist is just some psychotic clown. Why doesn’t this guy work at a bank like all his soulmates do?
Piss Christ-wannabe
this guy is great i been a virgen for all my life that i know of and this way i dont have to pay someone to take my black cherry
you can’t say this guy is disturbed and all that, its called THE RAPE TUNNEL, srsly wtf are these people expecting?
I will be there and i’m big and black

you have probably met someone who has been raped, but have clearly never met someone who has raped. they are just as hurt by the experience, if not more. Have you ever thought about why people rape? its to solve personal issues, but it doesnt help because the victim never participates. so before you tell people to resist and hate rape, think of the rapists.
I’d love to have an impact on this guy’s life. For instance, lets say… to end it with a big axe.
Then again, if one had to choose between rape or the fan at the end of the tunnel…

EYEM COMIN WII SEA WHO GOES MID evil You clownie Girl
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…
Should have known this was too good to be true.
“At the end of the tunnel the subject will find me waiting in the project room and I’ll try to the best of my ability to overpower and rape the person who crawls through…”
..is one of the best sentences ever written/spoken.
LAME
its not rape if someone walks in there knowing you’re going to rape them. its consensual.
“Rape seemed like the next logical step”… epic
Are you F***ING KIDDING ME??????????????? How is this guy not forced to be institutionalizeD? this is the most stupid ridiculous and pointless thing i’ve ever heard. I hope THIS ARTIST GETS HIS ASS RAPED IN JAIL!!!!!!! He puts a shame to all real “artists” in the world.
What a moron. He wants to have a long-lasting impact on people’s lives and the best thing he can come up with is rape? He’s willing to do what he finds “morally reprehensible” in order to make art? Jackass. Just because no one else wants to do it, doesn’t make it art.
Dickkkkkkkkkkkkk.
Ur ass gonna get raped in that tunnel by fly monkeys off the wizard of ozz!
HAHAHAHA, this is so great. I’d really love to marry this guy.
Gross. I’m pretty sure anyone crawling through the hole will think it’s a hoax – so I don’t think anyone crawling through it truly deserves to get raped.
Now I’m sure rapists are going to go around and rape some more people, claiming it’s being done in the name of art.
I would only support this “artwork” if a rapist was the first to crawl through the hole, and fight the guy – end result: Rapist raping the “artistic” raper. Maybe the tables will turn and we’ll all hear a report on it.
That’s actually kind of sexy, but that just may be just me. I want to go through his tunnel.
SEX!
Yeah to be honest i find the whole idea quite arousing and intriguing, if this was real id be very tempted to crawl through the tunnel just to experience it.
to all the haters, its fairly simple, if you dont wanna get raped, dont go into the tunnel lol
Really too bad this is a hoax; I had hoped we could send Roman Polanski for a visit…
I wonder who is sicker, the artist or the person who chooses to go into the tunnel.
I am an artist and have been all my life. I’m very open minded to all beliefs and opinions, but this is just wrong. Hoax or not, this is not something that you joke about. You know what, rather than getting his ass beat or his man parts cut off, I hope someone goes in and gives him AIDs. Let him deal with that for the rest of his life.
this is a rather interesting form of art. tho it does not appear to be it certainly meets terms used to define art. he did physically craft something and it does invoke feelings and emotions. they don’t have to be good feelings either. the rape tunnel could possible evoke fear or helplessness due to its design to get smaller. would i got it it? fuck no! but i certainly am impressed by such a bold move
OK, what if i send in a monkey, a dog, a rabbit, and a bonobo in the tunnel. What will you do?
this isn’t going to help anyone get laid.
YOU GOOFS FELL FOR THIS!!!!!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH SUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i will be visiting the rape tunnel… i’m very lonely.
Is that Richard Heene?
The fact that this whole thing is a hoax aside, to all the haters saying this guy’s gonna get AIDs: are you all related to the pope or something? Cos here in the 21st centure people use these amazing and miraculous rubber devices called ‘condoms’.
I love the federal government and illegal aliens. If I thought either an illegal alien or a federal agent were at the end of the tunnel, I would crawl through, no question.
I will go trough the tunnel masturbating, then i will violently rape this puny artist man – his anus will hang like a bloody pipe sausage when i am done – this WILL BE ART
Micheal Jackson wants to know if the hole can be made smaller.
Forgot to add : when i rape him, he will scream so much, he will be hailed as a handicapped singer as well ! His throat will burst!
As the command specialist major of the Army, I approve the rape tunnel to further facism in this country.
its a wind tunnel idiots. artists suck.
http://www.geversaircraft.com/wt/wt5x7.htm
Two words: WACK JOB
If this is “art”, and this guy is considered an “artist”, stop the world, I want off. What can he possibly be trying to prove here?
He could also call it the “people with guns come out of here to kill a rapist tunnel”
Oh! Someone didn’t get enough attention as a child! Wah.
Those of you decrying this as a hoax are sadly misunderstanding the point. The point is that something this absurd could, in the context of “modern art”, be taken seriously. This demonstrates just how ridiculous the art world has become.
It’s too bad that a mere article cannot be nominated for the Turner Prize. An actual “rape tunnel” would qualify, and would even be a strong contender, if done in Britain by a British artist. Perhaps some Londoner will take the idea and run with it.
Thank you.
So yeah its a hoax but i cant help but think… How nice would it be to walk into a dark tunnel that gets real small and then get to a nice open room have some crazy nonconsensual/consensual sex then walk back out and enjoy the art exhibit. I commend this artist in his quest to make art shows more bearable by starting you off with some sex.
Also since this is such a good idea may i suggest its implementation on college campuses
If you understand this you will get it. I personally don’t care for rape, but his idea sounds brilliant! The test of life time!
For those of you who think someone should go in there and shoot him up… your retarded! These people obviously know what they’re getting into. That model had no right to sue him.
If someone tells you, you’re going to get punched in the face… WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU GET MAD WHEN IT HAPPENS?
Common sense! lol
An interesting idea. Other artistically astute writers have already noted that the article itself is the relevant piece of art, but I cannot help wondering what we are supposed to make of this.
I mean, the notion that the purpose is to get people to think about morality, and the state of art in the present, seems to be naive. The reactions to a work like this are bound to fall into two categories: people who get the joke, in a sense, and are thus unperturbed, and people who will reflexively, and unthinkingly, lash out with obligatory references to the tragic state of art, and proclamations to the effect that Whitehurst is a sick dog that needs to be put down… which is to say that there really is no point to any of this at all.
It’s like humanity is so used up creatively, all we have left are little pranks. Ironically, it would seem that those who lament the sad lamentable state of the artworld may very well be right, albeit for the wrong reasons.
you all are faggots this man is an innovator……..so get lost pussies
It’s not rape, just Surprise Sex.
So I’ve read a few works by Shakespeare and many of them contain scenes incorporating violence, murder, death, etc. Following the ‘logic’ of those posting here, since murder and suicide are morally wrong and ugly parts of society, Romeo and Juliet should no longer be considered art and should be staunchly opposed and banned.
He’s gone too quickly with the rape tunnel, he needed to progress to something this genius. There should have been a urination tunnel, or a fecal matter tunnel. Possibly a cum shot tunnel AND THEN a rape tunnel.
I think he should give blow jobs to anyone that comes through the tunnel. It would be a lot more interesting.
This is a confirmed hoax
there is a home version of this
http://www.austinbachelor.com/nice.jpg
Brilliant work! Uh, except for the raping part… yeah, that shit is fucked up. Everything up until that point, though? Fucking brilliant.
Kudos to Sheila Zareno! Let us hope he dies in a fire before the first person emerges… but only just before. I don’t want this project to go to waste, I just don’t want people getting raped.
I think the next step is CHILD MOLESTATION TUNNEL, or some shit like that…
What a Bag’o'douche! A true visionary.
RE: Chuck.
I like the URINATION TUNNEL idea. That would be a public service from start to finish… and urine is pretty benign.
I guess it’s tough to get laid in Akron these days . .
for everyone against this, why not try this…
he said hed do anyting that comes in
why dont we send in like random attacking animals like cobras, badgers, porcupines
£10 to the first guy who rapes him.
that is so stupid. that’s not art. its dumb. shoot him please.
The reality is he has picked that would invoke this sort of response in people and he is using it to get media attention and invoke public debate. As to the reasons behind it however, there is no benifical insight that can or will be gained from this work. Society and people in general are already aware of rape in various societies and most people at least the well ballanced among us are sickened by it. The artist is just one of many self important people that is trying to bring meaning to his own life through self delusion, he is not the first nor the last. Additionally he won’t be that last that hurts others as a result if he is successful.
The reality is that he has picked a subject i should say (eh so lame)
I guarantee if this wasn’t hoax art, there would be people who would go through the tunnel.
This is the kind of thinking which is at best, provincial. Meaning is not determined by gesture, but by gaze. If he wishes to shake-up the art world, he should start looking at which media audiences look at today in search for “meaning”, which is in itself very subjective. An action like this only tries to reinforce the notion that “artist-knows-best” in the good old “white-male-genius” mold. Perhaps he has a short memory or bad research skills – other antics have been done in the name of changing art, bringing back meaning, and so on, but have always fallen short of its proposed outcomes.
no point in wishing this one good luck…
You know, it occurs to me that if someone crawls through this tunnel, having read the sign at the front, it essentially implies they are giving consent, so it’s not technically rape.
This is a pretty fucked up piece of “art” but if you crawl through a tunnel after having read a sign that says “If you crawl through this tunnel, I will rape you”, there’s a pretty large amount of personal responsibility involved if you then decide to, say, CRAWL THROUGH THE FUCKING TUNNEL.
Oh hi guys. Please come see my work, and I will make it a pleasant experience for you.
No, seriously
COME SEE MY GLORIOUS WORK
Seriously great piece of art.
whether its Tunnel in which Richard Whitehurst intends to subdue and rape his audience or just a fantastic creation of fiction by Sheila Zareno. either way it’s impact and intensity is as hard hitting as a punch in the face.
people getting angry about something they are unwilling to change for themselves is pathetic and sums up just how these artist can belittle what smidgen of intellect you might have. All in all, a remarkable piece of literature, provocative artwork and depressing resolve from the masses.
Sheila Zareno Richard Whitehurst
HAHAHAHAA!!!!!!! Hats off to the ones who birthed all this.
What a wave you a riding!
this is fantastic. you all know there is no raping going on in there, right? it’s performance art and he has made us the performers. This man has gotten us to think about and discuss – and to feel something very real – about a topic important to our society and culture.
um…… SVU much? this shouldnt even be legal. seriously wtf.
I’m building a KICK-YOU-IN-THE-FACE Tunnel, you will have to walk down the tunnel until it narrows and you eventually crawl to this window in which you must stick your head in only to see me winding up a strong round house kick to your kisser. Admission will be $25.00
Internet trolling: The loftiest of art forms. I might as well be reading the comments on Youtube.
too easy
All aboard the rape train!
I find this incredibly funny.
This concept is brilliant. Its even more brilliant that this website is the sum total of the installation. LOVE IT.
i’ve built 3 rape tunnels for art galleries in the past and this is blatant plagarism.
some notes,
1. you will not be prosecuted for building a rape tunnel if you have the appropriate warnings. when you tell someone you will rape them if they enter the tunnel, it is no longer rape when you enter their tunnels. it is consensual tunnel sex and between two rational adults acting out a scene of love and fragility in these dark times.
2. do not allow mexicans in your rape tunnel. they will claim that they did not read your warning correctly and that they thought they were entering a wormhole to the ‘real america’. it is all lies, and you will have to pay them off with work boots and a three musketeers.
3. bring your children.
Someone should light the tunnel on fire with him in it. Talk about art impacting the artist.
If this isn’t a commentary on art itself and some of its ridiculous conceptions and values, the reasoning as stated for this project is idiotic. The purpose of art is not just to effect as many people as possible in as profound a way as possible. Why not just call the holocaust one of the greatest masterpieces of all time? Atrocities are something which should be spoken about in art, not Committed. If this is the kind of thing art needs to consist of regularly to get peoples’ attention, of what value is that attention anymore anyway?
where i personally wouldnt walk through that tunnel i dont think it should be nice or pleasant i dont care if you dont think its right art is supposed to mess with peoples minds not go with what you want i say he has no problems what so ever and he should continue his work

ZB, I find it saddening to think that people, such as yourself, have developed such a low opinion of art. Perhaps with the expanse and collision of new-media forms of “Art” you have lost your way when it comes to defining what is (and isn’t) art?
Internet art is so hugely popular, hard to define, and yet can be so very successful. In reading through these comments, I find myself wondering whether the Author’s intention was for this to be internet art?
If so, I personally believe that this is a nihilistic dig on contemporary art forms. With the loss of real (artistic)skill, comes an overall loss of knowledge. I don’t believe that this “art” helps in achieving any kind of resolution, and it reflects poorly on a new media of art which is much stronger and more powerful than this example.
If the people know that they are going to be raped if they enter the tunnel… does that still make it rape if they freely subject themselves to it? You know some nymphos are going to grab this opportunity. Sex is seen as an art to some people. I think if the people know that rape is involved, but still enter, then they consented to the sexual acts.
Good thing for him it’s fake. Otherwise I can imagine plenty of folks going there prepared for serious social occasions. Ohio does issue concealed handgun permits. A simple pocket knife can do wonders at close quarters. And if five or six people go into the tunnel together our rapist could find a mudhole stomped in him.
If this man exists, he is batshit insane. But whether or not this is real, it is one of the most hilarious things I have ever read, and I almost shat myself reading it.
…That guy kinda looks like Nathan Petrelli. That’s what I think though.
So what should happen is everybody can go into the rape tunnel and rape him, personally i feel the sacrifice of his own self righteous hole would have way more impact in the art world. now that would be an exhibit! so normative the guy raping everyone that comes into his tunnel..so passe. a bunch of chicks raping his egotistical ass..now thats art.
Jesus, can’t this guy find a less damaging way to get laid? This is neither funny nor artistic. The psychological and emotional impact of rape is not art but a horrific nightmare. Recreating the act of rape is disgusting and this man should not only be jailed but psychologically examined. Trivializing rape is wrong, and I hope to god this man realizes what he is doing before society takes this as a cue to cast rape aside as a part of life.
So much fail in this thread.
It’s art. Accept it.
You know what you’re getting into, just like this:
http://tinyurl.com/ylchc5g
If you read through this entire article and still believe it’s true. Then all hope is lost.
If he wants to have an effect on people’s live, why build the tunnel? Just go out and rape people, get sent to jail, then he can have an effect on the guys who rape him. Now that’s art.
Mr Chrichlowe, you are the best kind of troll.
I wonder if you actually understand Being and Time. It’d be pretty cool if you did.
all this butthurt is hilarious. if that tunnel is actually real, people going through it get what they wanted. stop crying and respect the artist and his attempt to create something unique. if its not real, lol @ you all raging about some fake bullshit.
PROTIP
DONT GO INTO RAPE TUNNEL IF YOU WANT NO RAPE
Bahahahahahahahahahahahahaahah!
“’tis better to be silent and thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.”
The best part of the article is reading the responses. If other people had read the responses, this thread would be hella lot shorter, and a lot fewer people would look foolish.
This is an amazing insight into how come most debates fail. I mean, the information is WRITTEN down, and people are still not taking it in. Just saying their thing, and signing off. The funniest part of this thing is the obvious futility of everyone’s actions. “I didn’t read anything, but other people are going to read MINE…of course it isn’t a flagrant and self-demonstrated waste of time”…as I write this, I am feeling like I am wasting my own time, but I can’t seem to help myself. At least I can console myself in that I at least read almost all of the commentary, and I know, at least one person (Mookie, you are my hero!), read other replies.
And I will confess that I almost thought it was real and had a “wtf!” reaction myself, BUT I READ THE REPLIES!
On the off chance that someone reads this…I will repeat other peoples’ comments: THIS IS NOT REAL. This is a wind tunnel!!! http://www.geversaircraft.com/wt/wt5x7.htm
Sick joke, though…on a lot of levels. We are a sad, sad species.
That’s so weird! I was just finishing up my “Forcible Castration Tunnel Explorer” art installation when I read about this! Talk about perfect timing!
p.s. Sheila, you’re a genius, and I think social psychologists should do studies based on peoples’ responses to your article. Fascinating glimpse into the primate brain…mine included, embarrassingly.
Best part of this article: reading all the comments from women who stupidly didn’t read the comments and for some reason think this is real. Most are violently offended, and some think it’s artistic genius. All of them, of course, are stupid.
Could i just point out that if this is real, all the advantages are in the rapists favors, you can’t shoot him and you can’t beat him up even if you have a gun or even if you have very good self defence skills, because climbing through the small whole you’d not be able to see him to aim nevermind use martial ars, and as he said “And trust me, I have a lot of secrets up my sleeve to ensure that I can overpower anyone that comes through the tunnel.” i’m assuming anyone that pops their head through will likely get maced straight away, then stripped with any concealed weapons confiscated,after being tazered and tied up i doubt anyone could kill him as you all seem to think you could do.
4/10
If I was in Ohio, I’d crawl through that tunnel and rape him at gunpoint. If he’s so curious about rape, I’ll happily enlighten him.
Wow..to be so desperate to make a mark on the world that you’d do anything, even an act of depravity… Sad. Many of us want to make a difference in this world. We could choose to do anything! Why this? Why would a guy want to be remembered as the guy who raped someone? NOT very original…I think it’s been done a zillion times.
this asshole should be locked up… in the big rape tunnel called the state prison…
Aye you guys are lucky to have a rape tunnel. In my day we used to live in one room, all twenty-six of us, no furniture, ‘alf the floor was missing, and we were all ‘uddled together in one corner for fear of falling.
Fuckin love it.
Send someone with aids down there. nya nya The look on his face when he gets his test results back, now thats art.
Can ein sue for unt breach of der copyright?
this is probably the COOLEST bit of artwork iv ever seen, then again im not much of an artsy guy
Oh my GOD, people don’t actually BELIEVE this, do they? HONESTLY, it’s ridiculous! Do you believe the website about how pumpkin murder is terrible and should be stopped too?!
Richard, you are my hero.
You’d think people would actually read comments before posting their own, especially when you have to scroll down past all of them to even make a comment. Either there are a lot of trolls, or there are a lot of people here who would actually walk into this tunnel.
This is amazing. Period. End of story. I tip my hat.
Its funny, most of you are missing the point and yelling at each other about specifics or about how he’s disgusting or that its a hoax. The point is that you’re talking, arguing, and your life is being impacted by what he’s doing or planning on doing or whatever he said, and its REALLY funny that you don’t even realize it. He’s already succeeding. He isn’t concerned with his own well-being, or anybody’s well-being, just that he makes some sort of impact, and he doesn’t care if its good or bad. I really shouldn’t have to comment nearly verbatim what he was already clearly quoted describing and explaining.
Also, I fully realize the futility and hypocrisy of my own comment, and simultaneously don’t give a shit. You’ll live.
To all of you smug, snark-masters: why are people who thought this was real “idiots”? A hoax doesn’t work if it doesn’t have a ring of truth. Geez, Put down the Mountain Dew, Comic Book Guy and get a life.
Nah… not everything is justified by art. The only way this would be okay would be if the first person to come through his tunnel was Brock Lesnar! Then he might have a slightly different outlook on violence for ‘art’.
WTF???????
It’s not particularly inventive. Without making a value judgement on the ethics here, it’s just not great art. It’s desperate. Boring.
This is not only an epic troll, but manages to become art in it’s own way in the same manner that the “rape tunnel” would have. It is causing a fantastic reaction and is affecting those who come in contact with it. I absolutely love the fact that those who balk at the idea of an artist “raping” people who willingly enter an installation do themselves advocate beating, murdering, or infecting the artist with aids. Instigating such intense hypocrisy is a fantastic artistic expression.
It’s kind of a retelling of this ancient babylonian myth about the goddess Inanna’s descent into hell, being tricked into nakedness and trapped there, powerless:
“By orders from Ereshkigal, Inanna is stripped of one item of her apparel as she passes through each of the seven gates of the underworld.
Naked, Inanna is brought before Ereshkigal, the Queen of Hell, and the Annunaki, the seven judges of the underworld. They sentence her, and Inanna is turned into a corpse.
Naked Inanna dropped on her knees
for great Ereshkigal had mounted the throne.
In her presence the Seven Judges pronounced
the sentence,
they fastened their eyes on her,
eyes of death,
they spoke the sentence
of the accused,
they uttered the cry
of the accursed.
Inanna instantly sickened
to death,
her body was a corpse that hung
on a spike.”

Successful troll is successful for the last 2 months.
Damn, I wish I had thought of this first
I hope someone throws a match in there. “Fire tunnel”. Or just nail him in. “The death of an idiot.”
Regardless of your opinion about this, it is interesting to imagine what your state of mind would be like crawling through the tunnel…
I wonder who’s going to take on the task of overpowering the artist in an attempt to push the boundaries between victim and perpetrator. This would have obvious artistic merit lat alone deep implications in our perceptions of consumer and artist, ham and bread.
I don’t have enough money for a ticket from the UK to the US but if enough people are willing to fund my trip then I would be up for been the one to push those boundaries deep into the artist’s self.
I love it! and I admit, I almost believed it when I read the article. Sigh. I almost wish it was real. I’d go in with a couple of my biggest, bruising-est alpha male friends and watch as they raped the artist who set up the tunnel. Then, what? The Kick in the Crotch Conveyance? the Castration Express?
I think what would be more interesting he would allow some one to rape him during the exhibit instead of the other way around. I would like to hear his thought on that idea. its always easy to be the offender!!
I think this will very quickly become the “who can beat the art fag’s ass tunnel” amongst local males.
I think this is great, he’s raping anyone who ASKS for it by walking down a 20+ foot tunnel, if it was an unmarked door or something where a person might make a mistake that’s one thing, but when you see an exhibit called “RAPE TUNNEL” and walk down a 20 foot tunnel that forces you on to your hands and knees you deserve whatever happens to you.
Why does everyone care so much?
.
If you have a problem with this…
just… you know… Don’t go in that hole.
I doubt anyone will enter a tunnel titled “rape tunnel”? There’s really no threat since not one person would be stupid enough to enter, and the guy will just stand alone in the dark all night naked. Who gives a shit eh?
I’m kinda turned on by this tunnel. I’d go down it for some free sex!
This is the most original idea I have ever seen, has any artist ever been more courageous?
Hmmm… A good point came up; it’s not rape. There is consent. He’s not calling it the “Fluffy Bunnies and Kittens Tunnel!”
It was virtually impossible not to comment on this and contribute the the furore this guy has stirred up. But I’m not going to say a word. I’m not going to be manipulated into proving this jerk’s point!
Hang on, wait…
Ah, fuck.
I laughed so hard. I wish it was real.
Someone PLEASE crawl down that tunnel and have him fixed …. and we’ll just call it the NIX TUNNEL.
i know this isnt real but if it was id probably go down the tunnel…totally not expecting to get raped…but curious as to whats in the room
Honestly, someone should go to the exhibition and bring a knife and stab this sick man. or a gun. And if he gets shot or gets a knife wound? Occupational hazard.
Even if this were true, everyone is getting unecassarily upset about it. If you don’t want to get raped, don’t go into the tunnel.
Fuck off.
Maybe the guy is just hard up and this is the only way he could come up with to get some sex. If you ignore the fact that it’s rape, and all the moral baggage that comes along with that, it’s still a crappy attempt at art. No passion, no meaning, only shock value and controversy. Unfortunately those people who label themselves “art critics” are easily duped into seeing controversy as genius…and the art world spirals a little further down the porcelain bowl.
There are many many arguements that pertain to this article but here’s a quick overview. 1. Rape is illegal and immoral no matter what the ‘excuse’ is. 2. IS IT consensual if you voluntarily go into the tunnel knowing full well by the end some guy will try to rape you? 3. If you don’t want to get raped, don’t go into the tunnel. Kudos for him trying to break the boundaries between artist and ‘art’ but dude, seriously, that’s not the right way to do it.
I hope some big ass dude goes through his tunnel and rapes him. I wonder if he’ll call it art then. I showed all my fellow NYer’s this article today and we all laughed. His conception of “art” is even worse than Warhol’s. lol
I personally think this is a fantastic idea. With this people can now experience rape and its repercussions. Victims of actual rape can no longer tell others that “You just don’t understand.” when rape is just a simple step away. This will allow for a greater depth of emotional understanding in sexual violence. Bravo, my good man!
Clue in, guys. This website is the art installation, and our comments are a part of it.
what a moron
I would pay a former hooker/whore with STDs and AIDS to crawl into the tunnel. Let’s see if the artist rapes the disease infected whore. He would find himself in a tough place… One will guarantee death (Aids) and the other humiliation cause he didn’t follow through with his plan.
Kudos to you…You are an excellent troll.
clearly, this douchebag has never been raped.
What the hell is wrong with you people? For starters it’s obviously not real, but let’s pretend that it was… the artist wouldn’t be running around committing rape, he’d have a clearly labelled “RAPE TUNNEL” set up and anyone crawling in would know *exactly* what they were getting into… How you can possibly think there’s anything morally wrong with what’s essentially consensual S&M without a safeword is totally beyond me. Of course the real point of the project is to highlight the sort of thinking that says “OH NO HE SAID THE WORD RAPE GO GET HIM!”
More artists should rape people. In the America rape is a god given right. God bless the patriot rapists of the lands. Art over freedom, and rape is a manifestation of potato goodness.
Kudos.
This is obviously fake, but hypothetically if this was real…For those who keep asking. No, you cannot consent to or assume the risk of a rape. Obviously, as far as consent goes, if you consent to the rape, it’s not rape, its consensual sex. You also do not consent to rape by crawling through a tunnel. You cannot consent to a tortious act simply by crawling through a tunnel. It is still rape. As for assuming the risk, you cannot assume the risk of an intentional tort, so it’s still rape. So no matter what, if you don’t consent to the sex, it would be rape.
/end conversation on this issue
Hell yeah Rape them fuckers that is a good form of art!!! I don’t agree with rape but since the person walked into the “Rape Tunnel” they will know what they are getting into. I’m sure most of them will enjoy the experience. Doesn’t everyone enjoy being raped every once in a while.
I love it how people keep commenting, going “ZOMG this is awful! This guy is a prick!”.
Even after three months of other comments, screaming “THIS IS FAKE!”
Use your brains, people.
Surely one of the most stimulating artistic endeavours of late! It necessitated an examination of what I hold to be Art, and is there anything more worthwhile? Hats off.
I’m probably going to crawl through the tunnel 5 or 6 times.
If I had aids, I would crawl through his tunnel. It would teach him a lesson or two.
2 people $free
2 pair military nightvision $ 600
2 ar15 semiautomatic rifles $ 2800
killing that fucker! priceless!
im gonna crawl through this tunnel and beat the fuck out of this guy at the end.. has he thought long and hard about that?
To be very honest, this man is a GOD.
I am sure that many have had the same thought. The artist is trapped in a room as well, and there’s nothing to prevent a possible ‘victim’ from coming into the tunnel armed. I would be less ready to ‘rape’ someone and more likely to be afraid of what awaits coming into the tunnel.
Yeah, this has been up for a while, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it. Hilarious. Wonderful, massively amusing article.
The tone is perfect. It’s clear by the end that it’s not for real, but it’s not TOO obvious. As everyone who’s still freaking out about shows.
To all the people threatening to beat the artist up: stop it. You’re embarrassing the internet.
I dont think this is real, however if it is, the fact that people would travel down a 22 ft tunnel under the pretenses of impending rape i think they are wanting it, making it just rough sex.
Why not just bomb places if you want to make an impact? What an idiot.
I agree, people aren’t seeing past the fact that it is their choice to walk through the tunnel. No one can blame the artist here. It is a descision to made by the viewer, the same as making the choice to walk off a bridge.
Well, I hope it’s better than Escher’s Rape Tunnel. That thing kept going and going and going and going…
*snort* 3 months old, and all this thing can do is 301 comments? Come ON Internet!? You can do better than this? Christ on a cracker, FARK and SomethingAwful can generate 300 comments in TEN MINUTES, and you’ve had 3 MONTHS?
Lame.
Now look, I get what he’s going for, but as a rape victim who has now undergone 6 years of therapy and am still suffering from depression, it drives me absolutely mad to see how many people think it’s fun to make light of rape. I’m willing to give the artist a pass because he’s done his job to spark conversation about the subject, but to everyone who thinks it’s cute and clever to even joke about rape as a positive thing: I hope you never have to go through the hell I’ve been living in since I was raped. There is absolutely nothing funny about it and I guarantee you that even if you don’t know it, someone you know has been raped or sexually assaulted. Please try and have compassion.
haha yeah id bring a gun and make this the shitty artist dies tunnel hahah
What a cheap, attention-whore thing to do. Congrats, it worked. *eyeroll*
I wonder if multiple people can enter all at once, poor richard would have his hands full. haha.
God damn it’s about time we had a true artist rise from the shit stained crowd of the current.
I hope this is real, either way it rules.
The rape tunnel is a scientific impossibility, I should know, I’m Einstein*
*Note to those who think that I’m really Einstein….this is untrue
Don’t go in the tunnel and you won’t get raped.
It’s simple really.
Aren’t the people who go into the tunnel asking to get raped?
Let’s face it, anyone who goes into a “rape tunnel” deserves all they get! By the way, it’s not rape, it is implied consent because unless someone has been tricked into going in, it’s pretty obvious what will happen. Furthermore. it’s a spoof, a hoax, a joke for publicity. Not brilliant publicity but in the art world any publicity is good publicity!
I’m actually curious as to when this thing is open… I’m game for a good raping.
genius
So if someone buys a gun, loads it with ammo, points it directly at their head and pulls the trigger, is the gun manufacturer morally reprehensible for creating the gun? If someone gets a bottle of toilet bowl cleaner and ignores all warnings on the bottle and drinks the entire thing and dies, is Clorox sick for creating the toilet bowl cleaner?
If you think Mr. Whitehurst is a bad person for creating this work of art, you are a world class idiot and the very epitome of everything that is wrong with the world today. You represent the pinnacle of irresponsibility and you are the reason for the it’s-everybody’s-fault-but-mine attitude that is so prevalent today.
TL;DR if you don’t want to get raped, don’t go down THE RAPE TUNNEL.
Please contact me.
Your hoax story has created a serious problem for me.
I hope he rapes the police… all those dogs deserve it
To the fools who commented with anti-rape sentiments, not only do you now know about his work, you have read an article about it, AND got traumatised enough to write a comment… YOU LOSE!
This guy needs serious help if he believes rape is anything other than a cruel, sadistic act of violence. Rape is not an art form, and the fact that he’s threatening to do this should earn him a jail cell. I say have cops standing at the tunnel interest and at the first sign of trouble, have him in cuffs.
And to those who believe that “he won” because we’re talking about it, making a stand and doing something unconventional to make a point is one thing. Violation of personal dignity and rights is another entirely. It’s not a joke, and it’s not art. Besides, art shouldn’t be about getting noticed or publicized anyway, but personal expression. Rape isn’t an expression of anything but insanity and cruelty.
Does he not realize the potential for spreading diseases?
This article has just given me a fantastic idea for a zombie movie.
Please keep us updated with this. In the meantime, check out film critic Rob Ager, as he is in the process of making a zombie movie right now. http://www.collativelearning.com
In a word: Brilliant. He’s like DaVinci, except with rape instead of engineering, sculpting and painting.
So, what’s the deal with condoms and what not if someone actually DOES decide to go through the tunnel? What about participants with std’s or HIV? Shouldn’t warnings on the project include sexually transmitted ramifications, fear of pregnancy, etc. or is all of that included under the implications of rape? Either way, interesting idea to get people out of their seats and talking, even if it is for something like voluntary rape.
Hilarious.
How scary that people cant spot an obvious hoax anymore..
This reminds me of Futurama and other speculative fiction, with ‘suicide booths’ and other automated, futuristic methods of deliberately causing unpleasant things to happen to you.
As for this guy,
“[R]ape is not always a black and white issue. The definition is argued almost everyday in courtrooms around the country. The woman who gets too drunk one night and regrets having sex the next morning, was she raped or not? There is no easy answer.”
shows a subtle, sexist misunderstanding of the nature of consent that worries me. (Because that’s totally the most worrisome thing about this.)
First of all, anybody who chose to go through that tunnel would do so knowing full well what’s waiting for them. It’s not hurting anybody unwilling and that is what free expression is all about and is fundamentally intertwined with the belief in freewill/freedom. So if you believe that people should be free to express themselves, I don’t see how you could object to the message he is trying to send here. I think his message is best summed up with this quote by him, “The problem with most of today’s art is that it’s being created for a world that doesn’t want or need it. So many other lesser modes of expression have taken the place once held by art in the culture. I’m trying to totally reconfigure art’s importance in the world and make it meaningful.”
This is fucking brilliant and I salute you, sir. If only there were more rape tunnels, the world would be a better place.
I laughed so fucking hard. What a legend.
He should have a webcam set up.
Ummm….335 comments….his plan to create a stir with his artistic device has become victorious ….I’m not sayin’ anything…Just sayin’.
UR PUNK
Attention whore!! This dude is so full of shit. Not that he wont try to rape someone, I just mean in general. Anyone who pretends to appreciate what this moron is doing or saying are the exact same people who will willingly go through his rape tunnel. So if his idea spawned from the notion that his art was only impacting/inspiring a small circle of peers then he is full of fail. Real artists or real people that are inspired by art will never take this fucktard seriously. Instead of being creative AND orginal, he just comes off as bored and desperate. I personally hope he does rape someone and goes to fucking prison. And when he’s being dude raped nightly, he realizes that it was all for art. What a complete waste of time and energy. You might as well say you are declaring a Jihad in the name of Art.
Imagine if he had wanted to leave everyone with a positive permanent impact, instead of a negative one.
His greater idea is fascinating. He’s just approaching it completely the wrong way.
I understand what he is looking to do and am in support of it. If you disagree with it, don’t go in the tunnel! That simple!
You’ll observe that about a third of the comments are of the type, “I hope someone goes down there and kills him!”
That’s pretty intense rage that isn’t directed at any _actual_ rapists. You know exactly where the “rape tunnel” in your local area is, where you can go and be guaranteed to be raped, but no one cares about those rapists, no one has any rage towards them. In fact, you are completely at peace with those guys.
This guy, who isn’t actually a rapist.
You may want to consider where that rage comes from.
http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2010/01/im_building_a_rape_tunnel.html
I’m a put a packet of aids blood in my asshole- go through the tunnel-
and then put it on my resume
it’ll be fun to collaborate with this douche
http://www.thefirstpost.co.uk/2140,news-comment,news-politics,rapex-the-internal-anti-rape-device
PLEASE tell me that there’s a woman who will wear one of these and climb through his Rape Tunnel! Can’t we take up a collection to pay a friendly sex worker?
This is pretty much the most stupid thing i have heard in a while, at least this week.
There just isn’t really anything to discuss.
Maybe the “artist” himself, he is obviously very inept at this trying to profound thing.
The only art here is the art of stupidity.
this man is seriously f’ed in the head…..who the hell would even think of something this sickening and gruesome? i dont understand the point of it. what a psycho i hope he gets arrested and put in prison….the bastard.
The artit is a moron, but….
He is also a product of the environment. An environment which consists of art patrons with too much money and too little taste.
These are the guys who should be taxed to the max.
He’s defeated the purpose by promoting himself. Anyone who goes through the tunnel is doing so willingly, thus dissolving the act of rape.
Brilliant! I think that this art piece will be outrageous and have a lot of impact. I applaud this man for going there. I’d love to see this piece.
I admit I haven’t read through all the posts, so sorry if I repeat arguments.
Sure there would be tons of people to want to go in there. However, I don’t know if Whitehurst is completly aware of the kind of people he’s attracting. I think of people with a rape fetish (who he won’t have a lasting effect on because they’ll enjoy it) or those who really hate him, who’ll go in there armed or with other means to stop his project.
Sure, the second option he took into consideration. But I think those are almost the only ones who’ll go in, and that could result in a short and boring end to his art.
I’d like some credit in this. I have owned and operated a rape tunnel out of my front door every halloween for years. The only difference is apparently this asshole took the bucket of candy out from the end.
by CHOOSING to go into a ‘rape tunnel’ it is not rape surely
There is already an interesting impact that this “art” installation is having and that’s that so many people here reject it out of hand by claiming fake etc. Even if the image used in the article is not the actual rape tunnel (we know the installation is incomplete) or is modeled after/resembles a wind tunnel, that doesn’t prove anything about the actual existence of this project. Do people find the idea so offensive that their only defense is to go into denial? I think that says a lot about the sad state of people.
I hope the first person who got to the end of that tunnel was a oblivious, large, angry fat man
They should send an AIDs infested dog through the tunnel. Sick fuck.
I love this guy!!! he is rocking the boat of the art world…he’s testing boundries. Its like lewis and clark exploring the west. All you that hate this guy angers me. This is not, not, not not candy coated, everybody likes, mainstream bs!!! this is hardcore!!! in your face!
What’s wrong with you people? This man is a true artist. He’s taking a risk making controversel art! He is adventurous and a hero! I hope every town has at least 1 rape tunnel someday.
Are you all nuts? this man is a hero who is rocking the boat with his contraversal art expression. He is taking a side and sticking with it. I hope, someday, there’s at least 1 rape tunnel in every town!
I applaud the idea of creating a dialogue about shock art. But unfortunately, this more brilliantly exposes the laziness and shallow interest of many internet bloggers and journalists; many of whom, like these commentators, did not choose to follow the link at the bottom of this page.
Many people are mind numbingly rigid in their construct of what is taboo. I am a rape survivor and I still laughed my ass off. Having such a violent verbal reaction (as many of these internet hobbits have had) to something posited as conceptual, is an assault in its own right. “Richard Whitehurst” dangled an idea in front of you, and many of you chose to become verbally abusive…one might even go so far as to say that many of you became rhetorical Rapists (of a sort.)
Anyway, this ongoing dialogue is pretty funny in my opinion. Remember, would-be torch wielders, a healthy dose of levity goes a long way.
As a woman that has been raped not only one but twice I find this to be a great social experiment. People knowingly enter to be raped, so is it rape to begin with? It sounds like consent to me and an extreme erotic role playing of sorts.
I like it when people start going “he should kill himself” and “He should be arrested”. If anyone enters that tunnel, after reading the “enter and get raped!
”-sign, then they give their consent by entering. And therefore, it legally counts as “normal” sex =)
Besides. This is a hoax. An awesome and cleverly executed one, but still a hoax.
Shame, really. I would have entered just to let him try xD
Thanks for all your comments regarding this post. For those interested in the subject I am including a link to an article from January 2009 that I found quite interesting and tangentially relevant not only because of its core subject, but also because of its objectivity and speculative bent. http://www.slate.com/blogs/blogs/humannature/archive/2009/01/26/rape-fantasies-and-female-arousal.aspx?obref=obnetwork
yes, this is a “hoax”. Expounding upon that, THIS is the art project. THIS is the artist creating something to shock the viewers. You have all participated in the art project.
Congratulations, everyone who took this seriously.
You’ve all participated in a work of internet art. This is a hoax hoax hoax.
Well hell. I am a young woman. Yet, if I am dumb enough to craw through the tunnel, why not. I need to get laid anyway.
Hey, you just lost it.
This guy’s a fucking piece of shit, I hope someone fucking kills his sorry ass and what he calls “art”.
For all the people who keep claiming that this is OBVIOUSLY a hoax and people who reacted angrily to it were stupid for not realizing that in the first place…
Consider this. While in some parts of the world rape IS considered morally repugnant and is against the law, in other parts of the world rape is just a part of daily life for women. Children are married off for money in some countries and then repeatedly raped by their spouses. Some countries still don’t even recognize rape as a criminal act. So the fact that this idea exists, hoax or not, is repulsive and disgusting, and not remotely, as some people seem to think, amusing. Rape is an act of violence second only to murder that actually often ends in murder. Rape is a terrible experience that robs the victim of their sense of security, autonomy, and bodily integrity. Rape should not be legitimized or made light of by a hoax like this, especially since there are placed in the world where this could happen and it would NOT be against the law and there would not be a protest to stop it. Oh, and the participants would not be willing, they would be women and young girls being forced through the tunnel for the amusement of male spectators.
This guy and his concept is disgusting. He doesn’t care what sort of impact so long as he has one, yet so far he’s only been able to come up with violent, negative actions. The fact that he feels no guilt over the pain inflicted and instead is happy about the lasting effect, the fact his presence ‘matter’ paints him as a sociopath and horrific narcissist. He also comes across like someone who has ego issues, some despair over the meaning of life, and can’t think of any reaction other than to destroy and hurt people around him in a desperate plea to be acknowledged. A disgusting attention whore, and one of the worst I’ve seen.
He’s no different than those predators who vent their sick needs in their basements, except he’s openly venting them and everybody’s hesitating to arrest him because he’s wielding the ‘art’ badge. Don’t even listen to his ‘i want to make an impact’ vomit, there are just as many ways to make positive, lasting impact on people, though they require work. If he actually cared about ‘just making an impact’, or cared about ANYONE, he would focus on those positive things, go join Extreme Makeover House Edition and build lasting homes for people. Go adopt an African Baby, that’s one life you would impact forever.
Really? Sparking conversation is art? I guess that means the thousands of comment threads online devoted to Justin Bieber’s hair are really thriving artistic analyses. This douchenozzle trivializes both rape and art and Artlurker’s credibility is now up there with The Onion’s. Only without the artistic value of being, you know, funny.
Nice try.
To all the people that have said this guy’s a psychopath in serious need of a visit from concealed weapon or AIDS-infested whore – you’re right. Moreover, a good portion of the “art world” (of that which fits into the modern category) is just as nuts as he is, so it wouldn’t have surprised me one bit if this were a real exhibit.
Just ask the Feminazi student that made “art” out of aborted fetuses.
If art is about its impact and the meaning it takes in the viewer’s life…then there are plenty of aid workers, doctors, teachers, etc creating a lot of meaning already….and they dont even need a tunnel
I wouldn’t consider myself a fan of musicals. I found Burlesque to be very entertaining.
Well I definitely liked studying it. This subject provided by you is very useful for proper planning.
someone should send a nasty herpes hooker thruogh there and then he’ll get herpes and be sad…succesful rape is sucessful.
obviously this is a joke. im confused how anybody that cant see that was able to find the stumble button
uh guys I think he is satirizing art here..
LULZ U MAD?
Trolled.
What a pretentious tool. God, i fucking hate these shitty people who refer to themselves as artists. Someone ought to go there and give him a nice raping since he obviously has never known anyone who has ever been raped.
i want you inside me
I think art is useful even when the message is strong or disgusting, or ugly, the main intention is not to be pleasant, the main intention is leave us moved, for good or not, esthetically shaked.
Agreed, although I’m not too much into individuals SEO equipment which aren’t no cost, SEO quake is one of the best instruments I’ve experienced!
As soon as this exhibits open I’m going to bring a bus load of morbidly obese people with hygiene issues & pay them to go through this exhibit..Let see how dedicated to art this guy really is when a bus load of sweaty filthy hogs come through his tunnel.
This ‘artist’ is just a complete narcissist starved for attention. He is just trying to be controversial for the sake of it. There is no message behind his work at all which defeats the purpose of it so this is not art. He says rape is not a black and white issue but it really is. He is making up arguments to justify it. If someone is drunk then it is not rape if they consented to it and they got drunk willingly. End of story. This guy should be locked up in a mental institution.
Lol, so looks like this is successful. He got the reactions he wanted. So many people just got trolled so bad. XD
You should definitely organize your future vacation in Singapore, it really is worth the expense. Did you know the movies? Have you heard how they started over there a few weeks ago? Thank you. For everybody who is still wanting to know the main reason why the cheapest city in this world is Singapore, then consider this.
and I hope somebody crawls in there an kills him for attempted rape. he can call himself an artist all he wants but he’s just another attention whore.
Step one: Wear Batman costume
Step two: Place shaped charges around exit of tunnel
Step three: Stand back and ignite
Now the only way out of the room is through The Goddamn Batman
I feel much more writers need to take care to write with passion like you. Even informational articles like this can have personality. That’s what you’ve interjected in this informative article. Your views are really special.
So, even if this were real. What if someone lobbed a grenade down the tunnel, you can easily throw 22 ft. and if the entrance is big enough for a person to get through, surely a grenade can. problem solved, the scum would be gone from this Earth.
If you don’t want to get raped don’t go in the tunnel retards.

I personally think this is hilarious. If you can’t hear the sarcasm in his “voice” then you should try re-reading this from a less closed-minded point of view. By that, I mean don’t automatically assume he’s serious. I think rape is awful, but this guy’s joking.
If someone willingly walks through the tunnel after being told what will happen can you really call it rape?
“ARTLURKER › THE RAPE TUNNEL By Sheila
Zareno” certainly got me personally addicted on ur internet page!
I reallywill certainly be back again alot more normally.
Thank you ,Beatriz
Hi there! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and tell
you I really enjoy reading your posts. Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that deal
with the same topics? Thanks for your time!
It is really a chef’s time period for ‘a place for just about everything and the whole lot in
its place’. Masonry heaters consist of a modest fireplace box developed to ratio with the smoke chamber earlier mentioned. Stir in onions, celery, chopped yellow bell pepper and cook till tender.
Please let me know if you’re looking for a author for your weblog. You have some really great articles and I feel I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d really like to write some content for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine.
Please send me an e-mail if interested. Many thanks!
