Entropa back in Prague
The controversial artwork Entropa by Czech sculptor David Černý, made to mark the Czech EU presidency, has gone on show uncensored in Prague. The work, which depicts EU member states through stereotypes, caused a stir when it was put up at EU headquarters in Brussels. Bulgaria, depicted as a squat toilet, tabled an official protest and the image had to be covered with black cloth. Entropa was dismantled early at David Černý’s request in protest against the no-confidence vote that toppled the centre-right government mid-way through the country’s presidency. It is now displayed at Prague's private DOX gallery of modern art.
