this is horrible - An "artist" trying to mimic what these poor people were going through for his own personal gratification is NOT art - it is just cruel. How is that reaching out to the community that was shattered by the events of 9/11 - what does this stunt offer THEM? Chat Icon
IMO, this is a terrible excuse and an insult to the art world..... It's a shame that talentless attention seekers like this man can do things like this and claim it's art... What makes me even sicker is the thought of someone profiting from the pain and suffering that followed 9/11 - I just don't see how he can make money with this "work" and say it's his responsibility!?!?!?

That said, we are in a free society, and while this man is extremely insensitive and tasteless in his actions for "art", unfortunately he does have that right to express it, just as much as we all have the right to voice our opinions about it. I'm sure this exhibit will be pulled as the statue was, I'm just sick at all the notoriety that he's gotten from the subject matter already. How sad.
