User ID: 1554074 Denmark 01/04/2012 05:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Lacoste censors artist for being "too pro-palestinian". Larissa Sansour, an artist who has had exhibitions at places like Tate Modern in London, has had her nomination in the prestigious Lacoste Elysee Prize contest revoked, for being "too pro-palestinian". "Politiken", a danish newspaper, wrote this article. [ link to politiken.dk] (use google translate, or just google "lacoste censors artist", there are articles from english websites as well. But this was my first source for the information. For those who are too lazy, I just picked a random link here: [ link to palestinianmissionuk.com] .) Lacoste apparently denies (Article on The Guardian.. Google "Lacoste denies censoring palestinian artist". There's an issue with copyright so i can't link directly.) |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8263701 Why is that good? I know it's a private contest and the host can do whatever they want, but isn't it bad for Lacoste to take a stand against it? Why not stay neutral and let her lose the contest if the art is not popular? |
