Good stuff, OP!

From what I have seen the absolute fucking worst of the modern artists are the Chapman brothers. Here is a write-up by James Pinkerton about their art in the "Sensation" exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. They also have their works shown off by Victor Pinchuk.

But the real outrage is the work of Jake and Dinos Chapman. Their artistic oeuvre is naked girls. They have taken department-store mannequins of little girls, festooned them with penises, and then added vaginas and anuses--the kind you might expect to see on a blow-up sex doll--in random places over their faces and bodies. The wall cards attempt to explain all this away with folderol about the perils of genetic engineering, but these two artists were surely creepy before they ever heard of DNA. Indeed, the sci-fi stuff is just a cover for pandering to pedophiles, as the museum well knows. The caption for "Tragic Anatomies" asks the following: "What would the world be like if we were freed of all sexual inhibition? Do we falsely deny the existence of sexuality in children?" Why haven't the media reported on that? Is it because they've been focused on the feces? Maybe, but I think there's another reason. The critics and commentators don't want the real raw truth about this exhibit to get out, because they know that even they can't publicly defend Hustler-type photos or kiddie porn. Moreover, now that Giuliani's likely opponent in next year's U.S. Senate race, Hillary Rodham Clinton, has declared herself against his effort to yank the museum's funding, pressies don't want to undercut her by describing precisely what she wants to keep paying for. So they discuss the dung briefly and then move on to safer discussions of the 1st Amendment.

reading through the last part of that post to, I have to add as a response to those "questions" by the museum who thinks they are so edgy and provocative - Uh, we can have an honest talk about the natural human sexual impulses that children experience as they grow up without putting anuses and penises all over their effigies - that is not an honest talk, that is you idea of clickbait pulling in of an audience for your shock show reducing the stages of human sexuality to a circus sideshow and a great disservice to children, parents and society.
