Escultura prohibida en la Bienal de Venecia
Posted by Spanish Eowyn en 11/febrero/2006
«Sculpture banned from the Venice Biennale«A sculpture by German artist Gregor Schneider was banned from the 51st Venice Biennale because the events organisers said it might be offensive to Muslims. The sculpture was a 15-metre-high cube covered in black fabric modelled after the Kaba in Mecca and was set to be displayed in St. Marks Square. A spokesman for the Venetian arts authority said there was a danger that Muslims would feel provoked by the work, heightening the risk of the city being vulnerable to terrorist attacks. Schneider insisted that the artwork was not meant as a provocation. He said he wanted to symbolise a connection between European and Arab cultures. The organisers tried to place the sculpture at another site, but finally decided not to display it at all. Instead, Schneider showed a video explaining his failed attempt.»
