The Panic Room, Beware of the Jihadi Art Critic!
Submitted 11MAR2010
With all of the coverage of Jihad Jane, I went looking for the ‘offending art’ that caused this murder plot and fatwas and rewards for the murder of Lars Vilks. Vilks did some drawings of dogs with ‘the Prophet’ Mohamed’s head on them. Apparently, in Sweden they put metal art dogs in the grassy bit in the middle of the roundabout to spruce the joint up, here is wiki’s entry for ’roundabout dogs’ . The Roundabout Dogs even have their own website! Here are some of Lars Vilks’ drawings of his roundabout dogs, for your artistic enjoyment:
Well, these drawings got the Jihadi art world, yet again, all in a tizzie of loud barking of fatwas, death threats, and SEETHING! The seething has become so intense that a new trend among the European Aritists has started. This trend can be traced all the way back to Mr Rushdie. The Artists who are critiqued and followed by the Jihadi art crowd are building Panic Rooms. I guess those Jihadi art critics just love to track down and hound their artists all hours of the day and night! And it looks like some of the editors and reporters in Swedish papers want to get in on this latest art world trend trend as well. This editorial will fetch a lot of attention from the Jihadi art crowd.
Following alleged plot to murder artist who drew cartoon depicting Prophet Muhammad with body of a dog, Swedish newspapers publish it to take stance for freedom of speech. ‘A threat against him is, in the long term, also a threat against all Swedes,’ one paper says
Look for ‘Panic Room Monthly’ magazine in a shop near you! I would recommend some furnishings from the Kalashnikov Line and Colt Collection guys. They work with any decor, even Ikea!
Of course there are other works that the Jihadi art crowd has strained at the leash over, Salman Rushdie and Kurt Westergaard come to mind immediately. Artists in America don’t have such friendly and loyal followers or the opportunity to have their very own Panic Room; all that Andres Serrano got for his ‘Piss Christ’ was a debate over funding by the National Endowment of the Arts, some art reviews, and a few angry protesters. Perhaps if Serrano tries a little harder and does some edgy Mo art, he too can have his very own pack of Jihadi art critics pawing at his door to see his brand new Panic Room!
