The piece above is an enormous 172-square-foot, eight-ton installation hoisted to rest against the facade of the European Council building in Brussels. Titled, "Entropa: Stereotypes are Barriers to be Demolished", the peice was proudly commissioned by the Czech Republic to mark the start of its six-month presidency of the EU. But the Czechs made the mistake of hiring the satirical artist and all around art world hooligan, David Cerny to put together the project. It was intended to symbolize the glory of a unified Europe by reflecting something special about each country in the EU, however, its drawing criticism because it refines each of the 27 countries into a stereotypical vision of what each country really represents. Mr. Cerny is notorious for poking and prodding "the man". He was arrested in 1991 for painting a tank, a Soviet war memorial in a Prague square, bright pink.


Do some research next time, dum dums...
