Thanks for posting, Jen. The show is up, and it is a modest "show." I hesitate to call it an exhibition. We did our very best to create a comfortable space in the museum where people could view the videos and talk about the issues around the Smithsonian's actions. I'm proud that we could respond in a thoughtful way, and not only share this work of art, but also, hopefully, encourage visitors to think about artistic freedom, the importance of public museums offering spaces for community discourse, and the role of artist as activist. We're open until 9 on Thursdays and Fridays, and 11-4 Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
If Slog readers visit the Henry, and would like to offer suggestions of other articles, responses, and resources that we might include in the exhibition, they're welcome to email links to hankblog@henryart.org.
Bravo Bronson. Obviously the Catholic Church has exchanged the cross for the swastika! Let's hope more participating artists join Bronson. Mel Schuster
We used to have ACT UP protestors break up demonstrations for AIDS funding.
Fat lot of good that did.
