It is important to have works freely exhibited. The artists have just as much of a right to display their opinions as any other person. Yes, they may be doing it visually which can be even more offensive than words, but that does not mean it must be banned from public face.

What is this sculpture saying? The artist can probably rattle off some crap about social commentary. But really it's just ment to shock and poke fun at a group of people the artist dosn't like. I think that if it was a privite show then no it shouldn't have been pulled, but if it's a public show then yes.<BR/>wendyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30618809.post-28249773886500700832007-07-16T12:56:00.000-07:002007-07-16T12:56:00.000-07:00It definitely sets one thinking.

I don't know a lot about this particular pope or the statement the artist was trying to make, but making anyone look bad deliberately is just in poor taste. I would HATE to be in the public eye.

I think artists vent out their opinions through their art, so however vulgar the art piece should be, it should be shown but probably not to the general public.

That said, the site, Milan, is in a country that allows things like lawsuits for offending someone, and the subsequent "unofficial" censorship that derives from it.<BR/><BR/>The work itself doesn't even rise to the level of "Piss Christ" for offensiveness, in my book.
