Controversial Czech artwork


A closeup of an installation shows a representation of Bulgaria, part of Entropa exhibition in the atrium of the European Council headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, 15 January 2009. Czech sculptor David Cerny said his sculpture displayed in Brussels within the Czech EU presidency and mocking the 27 EU nations was created by a small group of Czechs, not by 27 European artists. The artwork is a symbolic map of Europe depicting stereotypes attributed to the individual member countries, such as Romania with Dracula's castle or Denmark with Lego cubes evoking the Prophet Mohammed's caricature that caused uproar in the Muslim world.
