Their point about the image of the bust remains. The fact that they covered the bust with a tarp itself creates an image with a message.
Consider the mentality of obscuring the bust with something that is even uglier. It is not a statement on the aesthetics of the work. It is literally saying "You may not look upon this unsanctioned idea"
- happyscrappy 12y agoSo your theory is that they covered it up so no one will talk about Snowden? That doesn't make sense.
- GhotiFish 12y agono. His theory is that the artists wanted to create this very scene.
- tajen 12y agoCorrect! For me a better political statement would have been to wait for the People to remove the statue. I want to know whether enough people who care about the memory of the Prison Ship Martyrs to organize the removal compared to the memory of Snowden. If someone removes it, it's a strong political statement that the People want this. If no one removes it, then the People has chosen new heroes.
