REBEL REBEL, movements of contestation

FRIOUR project 13 is on rebellion, contestation, protest in all its meanings: artistic, political, social, cultural, historical and present ones. I dedicate this 2012 project to all mail artists who have told me they like my art but PLEASE Guido stay away from politics! They are forgetting that all the great art movements of the modern past (Dada, Surrealism, Cobra, Situationism) were involved in attempts to change society. So REBEL REBEL aka the essence of art expressions by artists in society

CENSORSHIP OF THE NAKED BODIES IN CHALLENGING CONTEXTS

Hello friends,

Recently there have been two works submitted for the CENSORED art project which I'm hosting on google which have been censored by their system, one by Fausto Grossi, and one by myself. Fausto brought up the idea that perhaps we should email these works to the rest of you and ask you opinions. Why do you think these were censored? what are your thoughts on these artworks?

regards,
i'm a superhero.

Ridiculous examples of censorship. so I’ll put them of rebel rebel if you don’t mind
1> Fausto challenges the boundaries between male and femail bodies, questioning perhaps his own sexuality or how people vision sexuality (this for me is NOT new, I have a few friends in Brussels who have made similar works of art, one from Chile and one from Albania, both have also conflicts with censors because society cannot handle bi sexuality or bi polarity in all its forms ...
2> Your own work pinpoints on the differences between naked bodies and naked speech (my reading). The naked body is harmless in publicity when it seduces people to buy products thru seduction, but not when it speaks about own life and sexuality, then it becomes blacklisted and banned from voice AND body.
