Looking for Paul
Inez van Dam vs. The Buttplug Gnome

Inez van Dam lives in Rotterdam straight opposite the so-called “the Buttplug Gnome” by artist Paul McCarthy. She thinks this work of art is ruining her street and she wants to travel to Los Angeles to meet McCarthy and take revenge.

Wunderbaum was invited to make a performance in the Redcat theater in Los Angeles (USA) in November 2010. We decided to invite Inez to come with us to LA to tell her story there. We informed McCarthy that she was on her way.
