Vice-premier Vondra over het kunstwerk Entropa in een EU-gebouw in Brussel (en)

Met dank overgenomen van Tsjechisch voorzitterschap Europese Unie 1e helft 2009 i, gepubliceerd op dinsdag 13 januari 2009.

I was unpleasantly surprised to learn that the creator of the work of art Entropa was in fact David Cerný and that it was not made by 27 artists representing all EU Member States.

The contract between the Office of the Government of the Czech Republic and the artist clearly stated that the creation should be a joint project involving artists from all 27 EU countries. David Cerný bears full responsibility for not fulfilling his assignment and promise. In this situation we are now considering further steps. We will publish more information on the subject on Thursday 15 January 2009.
