If I understand correctly, the artist’s intention was to spark debate about the relationship between art and the human body. The only people who give a crap about the relationship between art and the human body are other artists. I don’t think they care what we think. Criticizing them only reinforces their belief in their own special sensitivity and insight into…stuff. Instead of reacting, which allows the artist to control the discussion, try asking “Why?” Don’t stop asking until the artist learns something.
