Everyone likes a controversy story, and that’s why the Israeli ambassador’s vandalism of artwork in Stockholm gets attention. But this is a silly story. “It’s horrible, it’s sick, but I can’t for one moment accept that it is an apology for a suicide bomber. Everyone interprets art differently. That’s what makes it art. If this were a propaganda work, the museum would have a case to answer – maybe. But it’s not. It’s in very poor taste, if you like, but is there a tasteful way to talk about terrorism? About people disintegrating into bits of flesh? Which is what, to me, that chunky pool suggests.”
