Art?

Art is always arguable.  Is it good or bad?  Is it art or something exploitive?  Where’s the line?

Here we go again, another museum, fearing public reaction, self-censers it’s collection.
Harlingen, TX, it seems, has no problems with an exhibit  of ‘border art’  by Rigoberto Gonzalez depicting beheadings and other violence related to the drug trade, but draws the line at school children seeing the nudity which is part of the work.

How’s that for an opening sentence?  Got your attention, I bet.  But it’s true.  There’s names for various genital piercings and he’s got ‘em all, plus [...]
