“Forbidden Art” curators found guilty

Two Russian curators have been found guilty of “inciting hatred” with their 2007 contemporary art exhibition Forbidden Art — 2006. The exhibition had angered the Russian Orthodox Church, which condemned several works that depicted Jesus Christ in non-traditional ways and supported the charges against the curators. This in turn worried artists, who countered with a call to stop the trial and stop what they see as increasing censorship by the Church and government.
