Ad Astra (1907) by Akseli Gallen-Kallela<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 Andres Serrano’s works are photo prints so you can’t damage an exhibition item the way you can with a painting. That didn’t stop Catholic protestors in France attacking a copy of Piss Christ<\/em><\/a> on Monday. By coincidence, Dave Maier had posted an essay<\/a> about Serrano’s work a few hours earlier, and with a reminder that the notorious photograph was part of a series, a detail which is often forgotten or conveniently ignored.<\/p>\n

And I thought, “Oh, that\u2019s pretentious”. But then I thought about it, and thought “No, what a good idea! Make really trippy African dub”.<\/p>\n
