Simon Fujiwara’s latest installation Welcome to the Hotel Munber at the Singapore Biennale may have been altered without his consent or knowledge. Amidst the barstools and wine and bullfighting equipment, Fujiwara hid gay pornography––nude images in magazines and chapters of erotic fiction about masturbating into Spanish omelettes.
Fujiwara e-mailed Fridae.com writer Ng Yi-Sheng with the news that his work had been censored. All the erotica’s been removed, rendering it, in his words, “meaningless, almost a tribute to Franco in the end.”
According to Fridae, the museum staff didn’t consult him or seek his permission to alter the piece.
Fujiwara is currently trying to arrange for the erotica to be replaced or his entire installation closed. There are plans for it to be shown later this year at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo.

whoa. It seems he takes the traditional model and presentation of fiction writing and well, breaks it. Resulting in a story, a theater set, and a performance piece about writing the story. Seems he is crossing his disciplines and doing it well. This [url=http://www.moussemagazine.it/articolo.mm?id=460] interview with him [/url] from mousse magazine is rather insightful too.
so your parents move to Spain 1972 not knowing there was a fascist dictator ????
since 1936??
To find most of that stuff in Spain, you really have to be very commited to find specifically that. And by “that” I mean images of Franco and explicit sex pictures in public spaces.
Cheap shot, buddy.
