The artist in question has also had lots of media attention for his work depicting Muhammed (the prophet): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lars_Vilks#Muhammad_drawings_controversy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lars_Vilks#Muhammad_drawings_c...
The guy is a racist nutjob.
- kalleboo 13y agoI doubt he's racist. He's more of an offline troll.
- vilhelm_s 13y agoAnd hardly a nutjob---if you read his blog (www.vilks.net) he is clearly quite smart. My impression is that he mainly trolls the art establishment. It's usually quite difficult to tell how serious he is. His book "Hur man blir samtidskonstnär på tre dagar: handbok med teori" ["How to become a contemporary artist in three days"] seems to seriously and carefully argue for George Dickie's institutional theory of art, while at the same time it is clearly taking the piss out of contemporary art projects...
- sitkack 13y agoI am pretty sure I would like to be friends with this guy.
- jere 13y agoHe's a racist nutjob for drawing "Muhammad as a roundabout dog"? Or is there something else?
- mrkickling 13y agoIf acting like a racist makes you a racist, then yes he is a racist. Some people would just call him a troll though.
