Dear editor,
I read the article “Guiliani forced into climbdown” yesterday in a newspaper and I want to tell you shortly what the article is about.
There has been a legal battle between Mayor Giuliani and Brooklyn museum about Ofili’s Virgin Mary. Guiliani threatened to withhold funding and to exict them.
As a result he gave in.
In my opinion the museum was right because of the right to free speech. It’s a very important human right. I totally disagree with the opinion of the mayor. It’s only art and I think sometimes it’s good to have art work that shocks because it’s something different and it’s really fascinating.
I think it is important that every artist is open to something new. I strongly believe that a lot of people like more shocking art than this boring paintings.
Yours Jana.
