Wafaa Bilal
I am kind of torn on the issue of Wafaa Bilal's exhibition closing; since there is so much opposition to it being closed, I am assuming that he didn't mean to hint at terrorism in any way, but I guess I just don't understand the concept of the work. It is called "The Night of Bush Capturing", and even though many are opposed to the way that Bush is running the country (including myself), I still don't see how its okay to make a game about capturing our president. However, his other piece of art that I heard about sounded very creative and intriguing, where he allowed thousands to shoot at him with a paintbull gun for a significant amount of days, weeks, or whichever it was. The way he described it was that he put himself in a similar situation to those in Iraq or at war, and he must have learned a lot from that experience.
