Comments (0)Tallahassee art exhbit fuels Confederate flag controversy
March 21, 2007
An art exhibit at the Mary Brogan Museum of Art Science, here in Tallahassee, is stirring quite a bit of controversy.
Bob Hurst walked into a Tallahassee art museum this week and saw the symbol of his Southern heritage hanging by a noose.
The Artwork, which has led to a standoff between descendants of Confederate soldiers and the museum, is a life-size gallows with the Confederate flag dangling from a noose. Created by a black artist from Detroit and titled “The Proper Way to Hang a Confederate Flag,” the piece has brought an old debate to Florida anew.
One of a dozen displays of Confederate flag art by political artist John Sims, it’s part of an exhibit entitled AfroProvocations at the Mary Brogan Museum of Art and Science that opened as part of Black History Month in February.”
The display also includes Confederate flags arranged in a cross, a Confederate flag displayed above a voting machine and a restaging of Grant Wood’s iconic American Gothic that shows a grim-faced Sims, arms crossed, standing next to a noose with the flag behind him.
Isn’t it the duty of art to create controversy and spark debate? Isn’t art’s mission to outrage and enlighten it’s audience. So why would we ever stifle that?
What say you?

It’s been a minute since we last spoke, but just because you haven’t heard from me in a minute, doesn’t mean that I haven’t have anything to say, I just haven’t had the time to say it. I have been juggling work, side projects, class, and family, but I am starting to get back on track and will make sure we talk some more.
