Well, from the LONGEST beer mile in the world, now we go to the SMALLEST art gallery in the world! It didn't sound much in the press release, and actually, it wasn't - only 1.5 metres squared. To our surprise (and disdain), we found it was located in a porta-loo - a portable Dixie toilet! They call it the 'Smallery' (small gallery), but I'm more inclined to think it's a 'Smellery'. Really, arts funding must be really s(t)inking to an all time low, if they have to exhibit in places like these.

PS- We had a little altercation with Gambrinus from the Bier Mile, resulting in him 'glassing' me with his broken Belgian beer bottle - hence the band-aid on the nose! Studio Douche lawyers are on the case.
Taking a leaf out of Duchamp's book, art was displayed in this public toilet. It was quite handy, as I could relieve myself AND view the art, at the same time, meaning I spent more than the average 7 seconds looking at each artwork
It's not easy finding the Smallest Gallery in the World, but we made it in the end. I asked Curator Axel Pfenningschmidt why he wanted to display art in a toilet, and whether he thought size "really matters"
