In an effort to thoughtfully and critically respond to current world events, The Warhol will present this small exhibition focused the digital photographs of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

Through photographic reproductions, interpretive text panels, newspaper headlines and historical materials, the exhibition will offer a look at the extraordinary impact that amateur digital photographs have had...

Do these photos belong in an art museum?

The Warhol: Post Comments

What! No pictures of mass graves created by Saddam?

[Chummy]

What, no pictures of Kurds gassed by Saddam?

[I'mPeach]

Nope, and no pictures of decapitated bodies either.

[Always Right]

What an American-hating ASSHOLE. America has a million things to be proud of. A few idiots don't change that.

[Chummy]

What, no images of tortured Olympic athletes who failed to meet "the boys'" standards?

panties on my head, I feel like dancin'
Abul looks so right, should I be chancin'
getting on the pile
before the night is through.

Something in your eyes was so inviting
Something in you smile was so exciting,
Something in my heart,
Told me I must have you.

Selective propaganda disuised as digital photography for a museum exhibit? I think not.

If they want to display digital photography with " . . . extraordinary impact . . ." show the digital camera sequence of a beheading. That would be an honest statement and would have a helluva lot more historic value than pantyheads having a recess.

Comment posted. What nut even imagined these photos belonged in an ART museum? I wasn't surprised to see Ter-ray'-za's name on the board of directors, or some such!

In an effort to thoughtfully and critically respond to current world events,

Translation: In an effort to keep alive this pathetic non-story and tarnish George Bush before the election so that a left-wing sock puppet can be elected in his place ...

Hey, and it's not even the best stuff, eh?!

Isn't it amazing how the world and the self hating Americans judge us on the stupid actions of a few, but we are not allowed to judge all Muslims on the actions of a few terrorists.

It's a world full of one way streets.

"The Warhol will present this small exhibition focused the digital photographs of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq."

So, the Leftists will finally get to see what the Butcher of Baghdad's henchmen did before we went in?

Huh, what's that? They're not?

Never mind....

What no torture chambers and the Plastic shredders in action or the Acid Vats dissolving some people. Gassed Kurd children laying in the road..in short this sucks!!

[Ginifer]

Must be financed by one of those Heinz-Kerry foundations.

[Roccus]

I wonder how much The Warhol gets from the NEA?

[hoosiermama]

IIRC at the original time of release I stated I was surprised that the liberals had not asked for federal funding from the Endowment for the Arts to produce a traveling art exhibit.....Just a bit later than I expected ........Some folks thought I was joking. ;^)

Thanks for posting your comments. The Warhol(e) deserves some critical feedback about this "special" exhibit.
