The question of the night (sorry it's so long):
You are an art gallery owner. A piece is submitted to you for display; assume for now it is a static piece, like a poster or a painting. While anti-semetic interpretations are not the only obvious element of the work, they are a large part of its power and statement. Now, I present to you see a serious of dilemmas, in a lovely amalgamation of artistic, social, and discriminatory issues. Grab your sense of morality and your creative imagination, and get to work.
-Do you display it? If yes, how can you justify showing something that has this sort of hatred as a major motivating factor behind it? If no, how can you justify censoring the artist?
(If you say NO, none of the rest of the questions really apply)
-Do you place the work amongst other works, or do you give it its own space (assume that it is large, but not huge; 2'X3', perhaps)? Do you place it such that all the gallery visitors must pass by it on their way through the gallery, or do you make going to see it a detour from the gallery's natural path?
-Assume that some (many?) people will view it and become offended. Do you aim to distance yourself from this offense by warning visitors prior to seeing the piece that it could be offensive? Do you get more detailed, and state that it is anti-semetic? If you make only a vague warning, how can you seriously justify using this as an excuse not to be lambasted by those who are offended? After all, a vague warning only serves to make the work more intriguing, and you would be hard pressed to find someone who would recieve your warning and decide to leave. If you give a detailed warning, how can you justify planting preconcieved notions in the viewer's mind? By stating that it is anti-semetic, you have provided your interpretation before the viewer has seen the piece. Is this the place of a gallery owner?
-How would you deal with the obvious complaints that you would recieve subsequent to your showing of this piece?
-Instead of a poster or painting, the work is a video installation. On it, the artist is shown brutalizing an obviously Jewish person; while there is no proof that the violence and injuries are real, if ithey are simulated, this simulation has been executed with extraordinary skill. Given this change in the nature of the exhibit, do the natures of your responses change as well? Does it influence your decision whether the person being brutalized dies from the injuries?
