Just by the river, near Klárov, there is a place many tourist guides will lead you to. It is a nice small square where there is the famous Franz Kafka museum. I haven’t visited it once, although I am a fan of Kafka’s work. Maybe it actually is worth visiting but I want to draw your attention elsewhere.
What I am talking about is the strange-looking sculpture in the middle of the square. You will find there two copper persons peeing into a strange bowl. Their waists move so that it looks even more life-like. The funniest part which a lot of people don’t realize, though, lays on the ground. Those guys pee into a bowl shaped like the Czech Republic. 
Once again, this proves David Černý‘s (artist of Entropa i.e.) skills and vision.
We Czechs aren’t a particularly proud nation. We are actually willing to make fun of ourselves quite often, which I find quite appealing. Artist like Černý who would elsewhere be considered very controversial thus have many fans here, me among them. But some others may surely find his work insulting. What is your opinion?
I actually think that they pee on two biggest citties, Prague and Brno. People of these two cities like to tease each other. And as I understand it, this art tries to express how small are their arguments… It’s funny

I visited this sight last year . . . because I was trying to see all of Cerny’s art. Took a great video which is a scream with voices of people in the background saying funny things. But I am amazed I didn’t realize they were peeing into a pool shaped like the Czech Republic. I might have not liked that, but I do agree, most Czechs have a “wicked sense of humor” and I do like that! Now I must go again!
there even used to be a pole nearby which had a telephone number written on it where you could have sent a text message. the message was received by the fountain and one of the guys started peeing the message letters (you guys know what I am talking about, we all tried it on snow
)
I couldn’t believe my eyes a couple of years ago when I saw this. It’s just amazing and I envy you both the Kafka mueum (the archiv room is absolutely amazing) and this two men peeing into Czech Republic
I don’t think that kind of humour together with art will be ever easily accepted in Poland.
