Entropa: Czech artist David Cerny speaks out

David Cerny says that having part of his controversial art work Entropa removed would not be considered a success. Cerny made the hotly discussed Entropa art work that currently is on display in the atrium of the Justus Lipsius building in Brussels.

I think it is cool, he ridicule our problems ^^

We all the time are complaining about our authority but we can't stand it when foreigner is laughting from our problems.

Surely, we need more self-irony

C'est de l'humour, buddy ? France is a small, old, boring, arrogant and more than anything PARALYZED COUNTRY, where nothing is possible. Have a trip there and you'll know. Bien vu, Mr Cerny.

The Bulgarian toilet thing was just a tiny bit too harsh compared to all the other exhibits.

He should have done a Turkish sauna, if he'd called them gay rather than a toilet it would have been less controversial!

Czech's humor. They have a specific sense for humor and life. Look at "Good Soldier Schweik"

Mr.Cerny put all stereotypes, fears and jokes on this sculpture.

Bulgarians. Oh, no. They were offended. Well, neighbors, swallow this sour pill and change this if you can.

Well, I am not from EU, and I can laugh (or cry).

[swirlization]

haha, just great :D As I'm a Pole, I'm proud of David Cerny's vision of our country :)

@dgdbg Well isn't that fresh. But Israel isn't in Europe so stop being a moron...

[dgdbg]

I think David Cerny, being a jew, should have depicted Israel as a sandy shithole with a stereotypcal orthodox jew shooting a bunch or Arabs - at least that's the way we all view Israel - a battlefied of crazy, cave-dweling sand-niggers of whom we shouldn't give a shit.

[cleaningsfun]

UK just isn't there...priceless

[Klyuchinsky]

Nothing wrong with it :)

soccer player as he masturbates with that ball: D We Czechs have Holt sense of humor:-D

[catadeluxe]

well, I know Romania is shown in evidence because of the flashing lights. BUT

does this means that it is completely haunted by people wanting to bite you?? Is

that how Europe should be represented? are we having a good alliance? I mean

take a look at Greece, the Euro has ruined this country. Are we able to do better

of an interior problem??
