To protest the crackdown on human rights in Russia, protest art group Voina painted a 214 foot high dick on a raising bridge. The bridge faces the St Petersburg headquarters of Russia’s Federal Security Service….which is the secret police agency that’s the modern successor of the dreaded KGB….so every time the bridge goes up (which is often) the secret police get a view of a giant erect cock! Now that is art!! Now that is protest!!!
City workers were eventually able to remove the giant dong graffiti, but it’s legacy continued when it was placed on the shortlist to win a prestigious art prize offered by Russia’s State Center of Contemporary Arts. But when they couldn’t get someone from the group to come forward to give permission for it to be in the contest, the entry had to be removed due to paperwork reasons . Which sucks, as I may not know art…but I know that humongous penis getting erect at the KGB is fucking art, yo.
And this Voina group is brilliant. Another one of their pieces was to stage an orgy in the middle of a Moscow museum and to throw live cats (?) at the workers of local Mcdonald’s fastfood joints.
Here, check out the bridge cock going up:
