Art ≠ Terrorism
I think we need some of these kinds of projects to beautify the hillside neighborhood... more importantly, the projects are traffic calming devices and ring the community together around a creative purpose.
RPI - where I currently teach as adjunct arts faculty - has oficially banned the Iraqi artist, Wafaa Bilal's exhibition after its opening on Wed. (Mar. 5, 2008) night. It seems like a pretty stupid move, but in a sense is not surprising given the funding and support that RPI receives from the military, and its pivotal role in the military-industrial complex. It has sparked a bit of an outrage. If you want to write to the president to voice your opinion, go ahead.... president@rpi.edu
