You Keep A Knockin...

Comment comment by kflgilbert on 14 September 2005

Cause you can't come in! Of course they are self-congratulatory idiots. They aren't in chains, are they? The very thing they are protesting - ain't happening. Seems to me they have all the artistic freedom in the world. (if you call that art) Try painting a picture of Castro with a gun to his head, if you call Havana home, and see how many days hence you would draw breath.

I find it especially irritating that the art show was organized by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. It is funded in part by taxpayers of New York, much to their chagrin, I am sure. I don't see how American artists lives per se have changed since 9/11, unless of course they lost someone in the terror attack, or if they witnessed the terror that day. We were all affected. Good God. It's not all about you. Grow up! If you are trying to recover from the terror attack , as the council states....try putting an arm around the family of the victims.

RE: You Keep A Knockin... by Valerie :: NR5

These "artists" are woefully confused. They are mistaking censorship for the fact that everyone is ignoring them. Why? Because they have nothing true, beautiful, or profound to say. Messages like these draw attention; idiotic demonstration, no matter how colorful, does not.
