A student art show featuring representations of gay male sexuality and genitalia was shut down in Brooklyn, N.Y., last week. The New York City Department of Parks and Recreation closed the exhibition by Brooklyn College graduate art students after the show was deemed unsuitable for its public venue of the Brooklyn War Memorial, reported The New York Sun Monday. "Upon viewing the exhibit, the borough commissioner [Julius Spiegel] made the decision that the work, in fact, was not appropriate for families, and closed the show," Warner Johnston, a spokesman for the parks department, told the Sun. The show, titled "Plan B," was shuttered one day after it opened at the memorial in downtown Brooklyn's Cadman Plaza, where it was on view because there was not an appropriate venue on campus, students and faculty of the college's Master of Fine Arts program told the Sun. Nevertheless, the show is now expected to reopen at Brooklyn College, an administrator told the paper. But the students must first be able to access their work--according to the Sun, the parks department changed the locks on the memorial. (The Advocate)
