Two Looney Tunes.

In my line of work, we often talk about the art of diplomacy as we try to make people’s lives a little better around the world. But, in fact, art is also a tool of diplomacy. It reaches beyond governments, past the conference rooms and presidential palaces, to help us connect with more people in more places. It is a universal language in our search for common ground, an expression of our shared humanity.
That’s why Art in Embassies is so important. The Museum of Modern Art first envisioned this global visual-arts program in 1953, and President John F. Kennedy formalized it at the U.S. Department of State in 1963. Working with over 20,000 participants globally, including artists, museums, collectors, and galleries, this landmark public-private partnership shares the work of more than 4,000 American and international artists annually in more than 200 U.S. Embassies and Consulates around the world. These can be exhibitions, permanent collections, site-specific commissions, or two-way artist exchanges. Many remarkable artists have been involved with Art in Embassies, and this year we were proud to award the first biennial U.S. Department of State Medal of Arts to Cai Guo-Qiang, Jeff Koons, Shahzia Sikander, Kiki Smith, and Carrie Mae Weems.
Just think about what an exhibition of American and local artists means to someone across the world yearning to express herself or himself. Artists push boundaries and show what the human spirit is capable of, forming bonds of understanding with people they may never know. For over 50 years, Art in Embassies has showcased the best of this talent. I am grateful, as it promotes creativity, ignites collaboration, and builds on American diplomacy.

Abramovic is the "artist" in question. She is very close to the Clinton team.
Under Hillary the US State Department paid for this sick stuf and exhibited it at our embassies.

Corruption, Inc.?
Two Looney Tunes.
Please do not insult the Looney Tunes that way.
This crap isn’t art, art should have beauty. I don’t care what anyone says, art should be beautiful, not a pile of twisted metal or a statue of Jesus in urine or someone slathering pig blood and sperm all over the place. This stuff is evil and the only reason it exists is that we allow mentally ill people to do this stuff, and pay them tens of thousands of dollars and put them high on a pedestal.
The Dept of State needs their budget cut by 1/3 at least.
And everyone G10 and above needs to be fired.

Absolutely amazing. She has always been too arrogant to respond to this type of accusation.
The witch is in real trouble.
I’ll never do it again (smirk).
Actually, she wrote this in late 2012 at the end of her tenure.
Thanks for clarifying. I saw the date this was posted rather than the date of the article.
Great post.
Drain the swamp at Foggy Bottom.
Damn Straight. the Looney Tunes were ART ;-)
Thank you, too, for clarifying.
Art is about beauty and harmony and elevating the human spirit to Truth and Excellence. Ugly art is to tear down and demoralize a culture and seduce the children into being worthless and demonic.
Toxic art destroys the souls of children and embeds ugly and demonic behaviors-—like the evil, homo-erotic vulgar Weimar Republic destroyed so many of the “good” Germans.
The “Cultrual” Marxists knew to destroy children (collapse Christianity), they have to corrupt the Art and Culture, so it only dehumanizes and degrades people, which will destroy the souls of children and seduce them into degrading behaviors/art.
It's titled "Owl".
Isn’t one of the goals of communism to eliminate inspiring art, so that what is left is bizarre, abstract, or depressing?
Excellent.
