Czech President calls on government to distance itself from ‘Entropa’

Czech President Václav Klaus has called on the government to distance itself from ‘Entropa’, the controversial artwork the Czech Republic selected to represent the country’s EU presidency. His letter was released on Monday on the website of the weekly Euro. ‘Entropa’, created by Czech artist David Černý, uses national stereotypes to depict each of the EU’s 27 member states. Bulgaria has sharply protested against being portrayed as a Turkish style toilet and wanted the image removed by this Monday. While President Klaus apologised to his Bulgarian counterpart, the map of Bulgaria still remains to be part of the installation.
