Have you seen Poleteismo?

Personally, I don't find anything offensive to it. But that's the thing with art, it's subjective so you can't really please everyone.

well, art isn't really as much "pleasing everyone" as it is "pleasing yourself". kind of like mastur...

I can't see any piece of Picasso in their werk. It's Sacrilegious and Blasphemy.

I think anybody will react (get mad) especially if a picture of you has a p*n*s stick on it. It is an insult to the person concerned. Just imagine a picture of MR. CRUZ, then I will put a p*n*s on his face, would you think he would be happy?

Your exposure and indoctrination to Western culture is very apparent here. Thus, this is the classic case of having a narrow/limited view of what OUR WORLD is really made of.

Don't you know that in many other NON-WESTERN cultures around the world, the phallic symbol is blatantly shown/exposed in many of their religious/spiritual festivals:

Japan:
Kanamara Matsuri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia




Phallic processions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The more grown up you are, the less impact or "shock-factor" such a work of art is for you. Ergo, the artist of Poleteisimo is simply saying to those who react negatively to his work..."You're less mature than you expected to be."

"Threats to security became most alarming on Aug. 4 when Security reported that a couple had vandalized the art works and attempted to set fire to the exhibit but had been unsuccessful," he CCP said.

Who cries "hooligans"?

Who cries "barbarians"?

Who cries "demons"?

No one but the hooligans, barbarians, and demons themselves.

Over expressive art. Not appealing to the eye, in this religious country of ours, i doubt he cant sold his artworks.

Publicity through Blasphemy? Hang 'em Hang 'em.

oh boy, Picasso, huh? what'd you do, pull the first popular artists' name out of google and paste it here?

if you actually try and find out about Picasso, stunts like these are probably not above him. i mean, granted that the level of artistry these have are way below what he could do, but the amount of controversy would be right up his alley.

wanna see blasphemy? you go to church, right? try going to a church frequented by the rich and the monied. now count the number of corrupt public officials professing faith there. that's blasphemy.

sacrilege? go and ask how much it costs for a priest to hold a wedding.

maayo rasang gi close to na exhibit oi, inamaw man toh di man toh art. binuhat man to sa tao na wala sa tarong na huna-huna. mentally disturb man toh ang artist.

dungag2x lang sa problema sa pinas.

@ rodsky, normal rana nga picture bai, a woman holding that thing or eagerly wanting a p*n*s. But think of a man wanting a p*n*s. Put a picture of yourself holding a p*n*s, what would others think about you
