School of Visual Arts MFA student Marc Bradley Johnson was all set to debut his final piece, titled Take This Sperm and Be Free of Me, before health concerns thwarted everything he'd worked so hard for. First, Johnson accessed his materials. Then he set up a refrigerator at SVA's Visual Arts Gallery in Chelsea, loaded it with 68 vials of his own semen, and put up a Craigslist ad alerting the public that anyone could walk in and take a part of him home. It was about "creation, parenting, desire, masculinity, fantasy, and reality," he said. But his liberal Manhattan art school just saw dangerous waste.No word yet, on whether or not Mr. Johnson will have to pay back his student loans since he wasn't allowed to complete the display as intended.
Meanwhile debate and political posturing continue in the capital over reducing the size of the INCREASE in the federal budget.
Well, obviously what he should have done was to place a cross in a vial of his semen. And then he would have been given a financial grant, lauded by all the right people and his future in art would be secure.
