 Klaus Weber The newest Weber sculptures to grace London’s South Bank are engaging to say the least. The artist, Klaus Weber, a self proclaimed “Fountain Artist,” pokes fun at the less attractive side of the human race in an eco friendly way. I’ve found this same exhibit available for view stateside at any college campus, USA.  Fountain sculptures by artist Klaus Weber entitled 'The Big Giving' are displayed on the the South Bank in central London October 19, 2007.
There could hardly be a more fitting context for German artist Klaus Weber’s The Big Giving (2006), a series of sculptures of the artist and friends emerging from heaps of craggy rocks, spewing water from every conceivable orifice and then some—mouths, ears, eyes, even armpits. As part of London-based Southbank Centre's new Hayward Fountain Series, Weber’s pieces let viewers contemplate the dynamics of corporeal flux in an eco-friendly way—all of the water is recycled—while suggesting that what comes out of our bodies is extremely and hysterically gross.
