he obviously just wants to provocate and harm some people's feelings but instead of doing it with people that kill their daughters if they decide to leave their violent husbands, he does it with some 50-80 year old lonely women that found some love in some catholic creation of a god | ||

Is it good art? Is it bad art? That is up for debate. But it is art. People just really value the word art and only want to apply it to the good stuff. | ||

It has stirred the emotions. Some people argue that that is the only goal of art. | ||

On the contrary I would argue that some people do not value the word art for what it's worth and just apply it to whatever piece of shit they see. | ||

I say you should mess more with religions, they need to learn that it's not okay that people get angry and threaten people just because they do things that extremists thinks is ''blasphemy'' or whatever. To this day almost all Newspapers/TV-shows are afraid to show drawings of muhammed?! It's an outrage really, we can't religions prohibit our rights. Freeeeedom! | ||

Art is simply the spectrum. You have the extremely good, the extremely bad. Many people have argued that even things such as the Sistine Chapel were obscene. They would have argued the exact same thing. If anyone suggested censoring it now, they would be considered incredibly uncultured. Art is subjective. Therefore all is art, and all art is judged upon the grand spectrum of art. The bad is ridiculed and/or forgotten. The good goes into history. Time itself will censor this work, but only after the people have passed their judgement, not some council of priests. | ||

If an artist breaks the law, as in said "rape a child"-post. There is no justification for art if it involves hurting another human being directly. Bad people who do bad things should be tried and convicted, no sane person is arguing this. However, art as in the free expression to paint, sing, build etc etc, that is a totally different discussion. Censorship should only apply if the artist forces the art on people or directly hurts another sentient thing in the process. I don't care if someone vomits over an entire studio and names the installation "a different view on zionist america" or whatever else sensationalist bullshit that artist chooses. As a thinking human being I am gifted with this amazing ability to just walk past and go on with my life; it is a good skill toi have. My two cents, atleast. | ||
