David Cerny's view of the EU
-
Hi Guys,
I have been checking out David Cerny's "Entropa" unveiled today in Brussels. It seems all hell is breaking loose with many politicians!
The following is what I can make out so far,
Bulgaria = Squat Toilet
The Netherlands = Flooded with minarets
Germany = Swastika shaped autobhans
Luxembourg = Gold nugget - For sale
Poland = Cleric's erecting a the Gay Pride Flag
Denmark = Legoland
Italy = A Football pitch
Spain = A Building site
Franch = GREVE! (On Strike!)
Romania = Dracula's castle
Sweden = Flat pack furniture
Ireland = either a Bog or a turd (not sure yet!)
U.K. = empty space"The entire structure is in fact the work of David Cerny, the enfant terrible of the Czech art world. Mr Cerny was unrepentant. "Europe has problems laughing at itself, that is the point of all this. If you allow censorship on this, then we are going to be censored on other things." he said.

Yes it was on the news last night. Bulgaria has launched formal protest...and UK is seen as missing from Euroland....It will certainly ruffle some feathers.

Oi! Where's België/La Belgique/Belgien!? Surely we are begging to be mocked?

I can think of a lot better things to do than complain about some czech artist having a laugh. -
In all fairness to David Cerny, he had a swipe at all countries and their politicians, no one was spared.
If anyone can add to the list I would like to see.
