The Smithsonian is going to cave. And so ...Amazing. The Smithsonian is going to cave. And so is any other institution confronted with the old we will get you and your funding rhetoric. Obviously, it's going to be up to individuals to keep art's voice alive. It's easy to claim that you as an art institution represent an advocacy but it's not quite so easy to maintain the rhetoric when confronted with controversy. The Smithsonian gives lip service to one thing and does another. I LOVE how the I-pad got used. 2 Mikes -- you are fearless and incredible.Lucian Daemonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06957108135198362566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498309787307537500.post-3012208419462850992010-12-06T20:17:29.779-08:002010-12-06T20:17:29.779-08:00This is incredibly upsetting.

I can't help but wish that a large-scaled protest would be organized where multiple people would be displaying the video. I can only imagine how much attention would be brought to this unjust matter. But I digress, you two have done so much and I hope this continuing oppression is brought to an end.Chris Tranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172851723039476899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498309787307537500.post-16592382492929645582010-12-06T17:32:09.298-08:002010-12-06T17:32:09.298-08:00I'm really fucking upset by this.

Not only because it is happening but because it brings to mind all of the rampant complacency of the people around me on an everyday basis. <br /><br />Thank you guys for doing this and bringing it into a more public sphere. Without you, nobody would pay attention. This is proof that the tyranny of government intervention in the arts did not end in the last century. It continues and it needs to be stopped.rev0lushionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05168803908581034808noreply@blogger.com
