I don't have such a big issue with stuff like that. Its in an
art gallery, you have to go out of your way to see it. If your
offended because you read about how it was done in art shows
somewhere far away, your going to get offended by something.
And we DO need more like it. For the body politic to be
reminded that the right to blasphemy is important (its one of those
demarcation lines that shows there is a separation of church and
state), that right needs to be used occasionally - and being used in
art work shown in a gallery context is a pretty reasonable way for
that to happen, making the point without thrusting it in peoples
faces.
Cheers
David
