Museum removes every piece of art created by immigrants

[OnlinePoker]

I got this on my FB feed and it's probably posted already (can't find it in search) but this is an excellent idea.

Starting today and lasting through President's Day weekend, all work created or donated by immigrants will no longer be displayed The Davis Museum at Wellesley College in Massachusetts.

Instead, curators will drape black cloth over cases, and line the walls with labels that say "Created by an immigrant."

They are calling the initiative: "Art-Less." And it's meant to highlight immigrants' impact, even in the world of art.

1. Isn't life strange and becoming stranger?

Performance art but still.

2. What about art created by furriners who never migrated to the U.S.?

The article has some strange phrasing: the art will "no longer be displayed". This seems like "forever", but actually means "all weekend".

I'm sure the curators' arms will be tired from patting themselves on the back.

3. Actually, this makes a bold statement and I hope it gets more coverage.

Great idea.

7. How about a display of individuals who are or are decendents of immigrants?

9. 320 million? That would be a huuuge display.

8. They said it was done in Protest of Trump.

Many such protests going on.
