ICYMI: Urine Art Show Aims 200 Gallon Stream Of Dissent At Donald Trump in SoHo

SOHO, NY — This artist is pissed! An exhibit going on show in SoHo next month is designed to aim a stream of dissent at President Donald Trump's administration – and it consists of 200 gallons of the creator's own urine.

Transgender artist Cassils' installation comments on Trump's February decision to rescind protections for transgender students. The piece, aptly named "PISSED," will be the centerpiece of an exhibit scheduled to open at the Ronald Feldman Fine Arts gallery on Sept. 16. TimeOut New York was first to report news of the show.

The gallery described the piece as a "minimalist structure" filled with all of the liquid that the artist has passed since Trump revoked the Obama administration's instructions to schools to allow students to use the bathroom of their choice. Trump officials said that it was a decision that should be determined by states and local school districts.

Cassils, a 2017 Guggenheim fellow, has had one previous solo exhibit at the SoHo gallery, at 31 Mercer St.. Other pieces in the show will include "Fountain," a live performance in which Cassils is hooked up to a catheter.

The exhibit is scheduled to run through Oct. 28.
