Guernica [cover up] by Neil Jenkins...
Created after hearing the news that a tapestry reproduction of Guernica, Pablo Picasso's powerful anti-war painting, was concealed behind a blue cloth and a row of flags at the U.N. Security Council offices as White House envoy Colin Powell was making the United States case for war (05/02/03). A UN spokesperson claimed that this was not censorship, and had been done to provide a suitable backdrop for TV cameras, that would say 'UN'. The entire speech is presented here, cutting through the UN blue, and revealing the paintings' stark, tormented imagery and message - http://www.devoid.co.uk/guernica/ _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
