Yes, it was Piero Manzoni. Not conceptual waste, but actual excrement. They
had a can or two of it at MOCA, but the cans were still sealed, so I
couldn't actually confirm what was inside. I wonder what happens to feces
after it's been sealed inside a can for a few decades.
Hmm... somehow that query reminds me of The Stinkymeat Project:
