A few days ago in Bolzano (Italy) was inaugurated the new museum Museion.
The exhibition staged for the inauguration is also a sculpture called "crucifix frog" you can see in the photos I annex.
The sculpture is of the late artist Martin Kippenberger that what we read in a press release from the direzine of the museum, "With humour and a sense of tragicomic, which belongs to art since the time of Greek tragedy, Kippenberger, in the period "Tyrolean" faces a condition of their suffering, which is expressed in many works, as for example, also in a video where crucifix himself."
As you can imagine this "work" has given rise to many controversies and many will have requested the removal considering it an offense for the values Catholics.
The direction of the museum has provided the artwork that explains the significance of the work.
You, friends of Mylot, what do you think? He says well who wants the work is removed from the exhibition or whoever wants to remain?
What sensations you see this picture?
If you want to find out this is the site of the museum www.museion.it/

I mean some people like it, some don't.. I really think thats the best choice, yes maybe some arts might be consider satanic or some angelethic but... who cares really? if you like it, buy it, take it home, if you dont like it, just do something else!:)
