From here:

A Montana woman is alleged to have driven 1,500 kilometres from Montana to a museum in Loveland, Colo., so she could rip up a controversial piece of art featuring Jesus.

Kathleen Folden, a 56-year-old truck driver, is charged with criminal mischief in the case.

The collage by Enrique Chagoila has been denounced by church members as obscene as it includes a head of Jesus and a woman’s body engaged in a sex act.

In my opinion, it’s rather sad taking away people’s freedom to see the art,” Corey said.

Chagoya, a Stanford University professor who created the work, titled The Misadventures of the Romantic Cannibals, denied the work suggests Jesus having sex.

His 12-panel lithograph is a collage that includes comic book characters, Mexican pornography, Mayan symbols and a skeleton with a pope’s hat.

“What I’m trying to express is the corruption of the spiritual by the church,” Chagoya said.

He said the decision not to display the work again amounts to suppression of art.

In his eagerness to “express the corruption of the spiritual by the church”, what Chagoya has missed is the fact that Folden drove all the way from Montana to express the spiritualisation of corruption by artists, an expression that is, itself, art and, by Chagoya’s own lights, not only permissible, but virtuous.

It’s disappointing to see Chagoya trying to suppress the work of a fellow artist.
