Have you seen Poleteismo?

good thing ila gi close, seeing the pictures, theres no art in there it just looks like a pile of garbage!

i'm not pissed with the blasphemy...i'm pissed with the red ***** stuck on the face! the artist was brave enough to put it on Jesus' face. why can't he place it on the queen of england or president obama or gloria arroyo or in his picture and proudly show it as art?


can i also do an art about my vag!na replacing everybody's mouth and eyes in their picture?! and will they consider it as art?!


i really don't get the artness in that idea.


pfft! that's chauvinism!

-because those people you mentioned are not topical to the exhibit. seriously, read the articles about it and find out what the exhibit was for

-you can but you might just be setting yourself up for a disappointment. i doubt your vagina would have been as controversial as what the artist did.

-how can you get the "artness in that idea" or in any idea if your mind is so closed?

-it's not chauvinism.

what a great country this would be if everyone who thought this was so wrong would have had the courage and the honesty to actually look at the piece and question and explore their reactions to it.

instead, what we get is all this whining and raging and complaining. shut up and stop for a moment. you're not nearly as right as you think you are. you are not as knowledgeable as you think you are and you certainly do NOT know what god wants (and isn't that one of the core beliefs of religion? god is "unknowable"?).

Is this also blasphemous?

They can forgive Dan Brown and Tom Hanks but not this Filipino artist...why? Because Brown and Hanks are "worthy" and "noteable" artists? *shakes head*

you know what... anybody can do this... even a 3 year old kid can do this... just place her in a room with glue and paper and then you will see the result

How come I don't see any 3 year olds doing this then? And would a 3-year old really come up with this? I mean she can do it to some degree, but would she think of it in the first place without any prior instructions from you? And would you have thought of doing it without having heard or seen the controversial work?

And by the way, any competent craftsman can copy the Last Supper, but hell, why are we still heaping praises on Da Vinci for such work?

do you have kids? try leaving her/him with glue and paper and see what happen... and you dont need to instruct them

because he created it? there is a difference with being original and being an imitator

So you're basically saying that you know better than the art critics and curators who allowed the exhibit to take place in four prestigious Philippine universities since 2002. Right.
