Ditmar,
You open to the installation of some bombs in your car?
No?
Find out that they're not really bombs later and it's OK, right?

Just as the responses to the black box story were varied, the reactions of
those exposed to the piece must have been just as diverse. I'm sure many
people appreciated the installation. It's just more politically correct to
condemn such a piece.
Put on a show of ceramic genitalia and I guarantee you'll piss off some and
intrigue others. The nay sayers would have the show closed altogether
because their sensibilities are assaulted, denying anyone else the option of
forming their own opinion. THOSE are the individuals that are the true
threat and are very self serving, concerned with " I " and self. .....all
others be damned.

the full spectrum of emotion. Not just warm and fuzzy. Art is not always =
"pretty"
