Czech EU art stokes controversy
Posted: February 13th, 2009 | Author: Con | Filed under: Art, Video | No Comments »From the BBC:
A new art installation going on display at the European Council building in Brussels has angered EU members with its lampoons of national stereotypes.
Entropa portrays Bulgaria as a toilet, Romania as a Dracula theme-park and France as a country on strike.
The Czech Republic, which holds the EU presidency, thought it had commissioned work from 27 European artists.
But it turned out to have been entirely completed by Czech artist David Cerny and two associates.
The eight-tonne mosaic is held together by snap-out plastic parts similar to those used in modelling kits.
The Netherlands is shown as series of minarets submerged by a flood – a possible reference to the nation’s simmering religious tensions.
Germany is shown as a network of motorways vaguely resembling a swastika, while the UK – criticised by some for being one of EU’s most eurosceptic members – is absent from Europe altogether.

From Frank 151:
Frank fam and certified New York King DJ J Period has been cranking out solid mix tapes for years now. He really started to hit hard when he began coming with his “Best Of” mixes, some of which were actually hosted by the artists themselves. He did a best of The Roots (featuring The Roots), best of Big Daddy Kane (with Kane hosting), best of Lauryn Hill (with Lauryn Hill) and a Best of Nas (with Nas hosting). J Period has continued to come with blazin’ material, and has a discography to prove it on his site.
Now, J Period brings us his long awaited tribute to The Abstract Poetic. It features new and classic Q-Tip, exclusive J Period remixes, and all new tribute tracks from De La Soul, Questlove, Talib Kweli, Skillz, Consequence and Kid Cudi.
