Abu Ghraib prisoner metal sculpture - (Must see)
Edited on Sat Jun-12-04 01:34 PM by FrustratedDemInNC
This is a beautiful piece of artwork - the picture in the Independent Weekly is powerful and I hope to see it personally this weekend. The first link below has picture but the magnitude gets somewhat lost.


"The perverse images of prisoner abuse and torture at the Abu Ghraib
prison have deeply affected me as a human being, an artist, and as an
American. The most tangible way I can bring attention to any issue of
the human condition is through my art. My hope is that in metal and
dimension these images will not so easily be forgotten." - Jeff Hackney

7. Is this--
the gallery in SF where the owner was beaten up and received hundreds of death threats on tel & website? Oddly the location in No Beach would be out of the usual So Mkt gallery locale and the more likely to be seen by the broadest audience.
