European Commission embraces rude art too…
The Czech Presidency of the European Union will take some small succour from the knowledge that they are not alone in unwittingly commissioning potentially offensive works of art (see ‘Monster’s corruscating satire on the ‘Entropa’ installation scandal, and tireless round-the-clock coverage of the debacle from Bruno Waterfield off-of the Telegraph).
The European Commission, too, is courting controversy with a large ‘work of art’ tucked away around the back of its press room.
The questionable masterpiece was first spotted by the ‘Monster three years ago (see here), but, armed now with a digital camera and with the Czech presidency faux pas fresh in mind, BM thought it fit to bring the oeuvre to your attention anew.
It fluctuates tantalisingly between sacreligious polemic and lewd school-desk graffiti, bearing, as it does, 30 wooden dolls splayed in a crucificial form, and all with what can only be described as large, erect wooden cocks.
A glorification of Europe’s Christian heritage? (‘our icon’s got a bigger knob than yours’)
A novelty coat-rack?
Pretentious critiques in an email please.
Ta
BM.
