From here<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A Montana woman is alleged to have driven 1,500 kilometres from Montana to a museum in Loveland, Colo., so she could rip up a controversial piece of art featuring Jesus.<\/p>\n

Kathleen Folden, a 56-year-old truck driver, is charged with criminal mischief in the case.<\/p>\n

The collage by Enrique Chagoila has been denounced by church members as obscene as it includes a head of Jesus and a woman’s body engaged in a sex act.<\/p>\n

In my opinion, it’s rather sad taking away people’s freedom to see the art,” Corey said.<\/p>\n

Chagoya, a Stanford University professor who created the work, titled The Misadventures of the Romantic Cannibals<\/em>, denied the work suggests Jesus having sex.<\/p>\n

His 12-panel lithograph is a collage that includes comic book characters, Mexican pornography, Mayan symbols and a skeleton with a pope’s hat.<\/p>\n

“What I’m trying to express is the corruption of the spiritual by the church,” Chagoya said.<\/p>\n

He said the decision not to display the work again amounts to suppression of art.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In his eagerness to \u201cexpress the corruption of the spiritual by the church\u201d, <\/em>what Chagoya has missed is the fact that Folden drove all the way from Montana to express the spiritualisation of corruption by artists<\/em>, an expression that is, itself, art and, by Chagoya’s own lights, not only permissible, but virtuous.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s disappointing to see Chagoya trying to suppress the work of a fellow artist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
