BRUSSELS: The mayor of a Belgian town has banned the public showing of an artwork representing a handcuffed Saddam Hussein inside a liquid-filled tank, because it could shock tourists and Muslims.
The piece – Shark — by anti-conformist Czech artist David Cerny, was initially put on show in the seaside town of Middelkerke last month. “This work could shock tourists and potentially people of another faith, in particular Muslims,” the mayor said.—AFP
