Milk Grenades Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 NEW YORK (Reuters) - A life-size chocolate sculpture of a naked Jesus will finally be displayed in New York starting in late October, seven months after an outcry by Roman Catholics forced a different gallery to cancel its exhibition. The chocolate Jesus will be joined by sculptures of several fully clothed saints, but the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights said it will not protest because, unlike before, there are no plans to put the "anatomically correct" Jesus in public view during Holy Week. The Proposition gallery in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood will present "Chocolate Saints ... Sweet Jesus," an exhibition timed to coincide with All Saints' Day on November 1. The show will run October 27 to November 24. Back in March, the chocolate Jesus by artist Cosimo Cavallaro was to be exhibited in a street-level window of the Roger Smith Lab Gallery in Midtown Manhattan, giving casual passers-by a view of Jesus's private parts. Protests, including a call to boycott the affiliated Roger Smith Hotel, forced the gallery to scrap the showing. "We still don't approve but the conditions have changed," said Kiera McCaffrey, spokeswoman for the Catholic organization. The new exhibition will take place indoors in a neighborhood full of art galleries, she said. Images on the Proposition gallery's Web site (http://www.theproposition.com/wp/chocolate-saints-sweet-jesus/) show the work suspended in air, depicting Jesus as if on the cross. http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSN1729196220071017?feedType=RSS&feedName=oddlyEnoughNews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
