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.

Oh, interesting...
I won't believe a ****ing thing she says, but I still look forward to it.
Or it could just be an owl and a poorly drawn star.
What a waste of chicken. The Colonel would be dismayed.
She's about as pragmatic as a burglar. And don't compare her to Picasso. Some of his early work was really quite striking and beautiful, and still hangs proudly on walls all over the world. Hers doesn't. Her performance art vanishes when the fools who come to see her have left the room thank goodness, and the slogans created with body-fluids are simply putrid, begging to be removed.
Her soul mate might be Alistair Crowley.
Madame Abramovic isn't even original.
John Podesta practices Aleister Crowley-inspired blood sex semen magic, reports Drudge Report, citing Infowars, which cites Wikileaks. They just went Full Drudge.

Podesta Caught Throwing Hot Tub Parties With Children: FULL UPLOAD

their idea of a dinner party is obviously different from mine
Picasso was a communist, which tends to prove the theory of debauched art & commies.
She’s a vile, disgusting, evil, mentally and spiritually sick piece of excrement, and very possibly does extremely perverted illegal acts with children. And who knows what else.
Practical? Original? I suppose you think the “artist” who canned his own bowel movements and sold them was practical and innovative, too.
It’s amazing what and who is being revealed.
Jeff Koons is another of the artists promoted by Hillary at taxpayer expense and named in the article.
Some of Koons’ work is straight up porn. Google his “Made in Heaven” collection if you really need to see. (Sculptures and paintings depicting Koons and ex-wife, Italian porn star Ilona Staller having sex).
Thanks for the info.
I wonder if any of them are making actual art.
Must be some dinosaur-sized chickens! And where do PETA and the environazis stand on this destruction of nature?

fyi
“According to Cassandra Fairbanks, “Abramovic is known for her often-gory art that confronts pain and ritual. Her first performance involved repeatedly, stabbing herself in her hands. The next performance featured her throwing her nails, toenails, and hair into a flaming five-point star — which she eventually jumped inside of, causing her to lose consciousness.”
Abramovic has also noted that her work is more than mere “art” but crosses into the occult.

From wikipedia;
"Anthony T. Podesta, commonly known as Tony Podesta, is an American lobbyist best known for founding the Podesta Group. Podesta has lobbied for a variety of groups, including Bank of America, BP, and Egypt in addition to political campaigns such as Ted Kennedy, George McGovern, Michael Dukakis, and Bill Clinton. More recently, he has worked for Pennsylvania Democratic representatives Joe Sestak, Chris Carney, and Patrick Murphy, and chaired former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell's reelection campaign. He is closely connected with the Barack Obama White House and has repeatedly been named one of Washington's most powerful lobbyists and fundraisers."
It's the Leftists in general that are all wacked in the head in one way or another. Probably some republican Leftists too.
