THE REENACTMENT OF THE APPALLING ABU GRAHIB HUMAN PYRAMID WITH SIX TEENAGE GIRLS 2007

In an extra ordinary art performance the controversial artist Mark McGowan is to reenact the Abu Grahib human pyramid in Stockholm on Monday 22nd October 2007 at 7pm in a plaza outside the Kulturhuset. The work has been specially commisioned. McGowan says, 'this piece is intentionally provactive and is a comment on the representation of images from the war in Iraq. The girls are aged between 16 and 19 years old, they will be naked except for green hoods placed over their heads and is potentially very disturbing. We recieve images and reports from Iraq on a daily basis, how they are delivered and represented within the media are i believe biased, doctured and mis represented.
When a soldier from the West dies, we have nice clean images of the family sitting at home in front of a library back lit with a picture of their dead family member and it is very sad. Any death of an Iraqi is accompanied by a bunch of wailing, screaming mothers fathers uncles grandmothers. It's to suggest that they are all mad, and we are all sane. And it's not fair.
 
The film 3 Kings with George Clooney, Mark Walberg and Ice T, where the three american soldiers steal all the gold but liberate the Iraqi people is still regularly shown on Sky television and terrestial tv,people in Wyoming, Coventry and Rome watch this film in their homes and believe it is a reality, this is really wrong.
