Artist and poet Bill Owen was the head figure of public legislatism, an art movement that gained more followers in the late nineties of the previous century. It was his quest to give order to space. The legislatists proclaim the incompetence of individuals dealing in public spaces. ‘If a Dog’ shows again how brilliantly Bill Owen works with this incompetence, because more than individuals, dog-owning individuals often form a threat to public order.
