Considered as porn, a statue is rejected to be displayed in Paris Pompidou Center
News24xx.com - The most visited museum in the world is shocked by the news of a statue that is considered pornographic or obscene. The statue is on display at the Paris Pompidou Center on Tuesday, October 17 2017.
The statue named Domestikator was made by Dutch artist, Joep van Lieshout. Initially the statue is planned to be built in the Tuileries Park adjacent to the Louvre Museum Paris as part of an art exhibition this month.
However, its location changed to the Pompidou Center location.
"I was surprised the Louvre Museum did not want to showcase my artwork," said van Lieshout quoted by Reuters on Wednesday, October 18 2017.
Local media in Paris said the Louvre Museum refused to place the statue that is considered porn after negotiating in social media with the public. They feared that the statue would not be accepted in such public spaces.
The statue itself is made of steel, wood, and fiberglass. Now the statue exhibited openly in the technological architecture building at the Pompidou Center.
When asked about the statue that is considered porn, van Lieshout refused to say obscene or pornographic.
"The obscenity is everywhere, certainly not in this artwork," he added.
Instead he thinks that the geometric-shaped statue is funny.
"It's a relationship of abstraction and more spiritual," said van Lieshout.
