Kudos to the feller for candor if not for courage. One of the things that has cheapened popular culture over the past several decades is the tendency to act self-righteous and condemnatory toward a target that never fights back, whether that be Christianity in art or American foreign policy in politics. The ability to claim courage without having to prove it is seductive, lucrative, and untimately condemns the practitioner to self-aggrandizing irrelevance.

I do wish someone would translate this sentence into English for me, though -

One work depicted a teddy bear being born from a penis as the Virgin Mary.

I don't think one can create art by mixing random emotionally-loaded abstractions, but then I'm neither artist nor critic. Possibly this is simply too profound for me. Possibly it's crap.

All I am certiain of is that the teddy bear, the penis and the Virgin Mary can’t complain.
