Art gallery throws shoes at Bush
An artist has opened an exhibition where members of the public are invited to fling shoes at a portrait of George W. Bush.
For $1 people can follow in the barefoot footsteps of Iraqi journalist Muntadar al-Zeidi who was arrested last month for throwing his shoes at the US President.
Visitors to the Mada Shell Gallery in Ashland, Oregon are each issued with get a trainer, boot or sandal, the soles of which are coated with red paint.
They then get to throw the shoe at an eight-foot portrait of Dubya covering him with red marks.
Most visitors are said to be really putting their 'art and sole' into it and throwing the shoes at Bush as hard as they can.
The couple behind the artwork, Eric Navickas and partner Amy Godard, say people can show solidarity with al-Zeidi and add that all funds raised will go towards future gallery exhibits.
