Callaurinal: Art yes: a "readymade" it's not

Clark Sorensen's pieces are a challenge to the concepts established  in the last century by the Dadaists and yet what could be more surreal than to piss on the phallus of a calla lilly.  His ideas challenge the concepts of "form follows function".  I invite you to check out his web sight to see all his wonderful urinal creations and their inherent contradictions of good design and high art.  The point of contention is in purpose or function, necessity or aesthetic, concept or reality.  What is interesting in Clark's work is the blurring of these artistic parameters.
