BELGIUM-EU-ART-VONDRA-CERNY
Czech sculptor David Cerny attends the "Entropa" exhibit with Czech Deputy Prime Minister Alexandr Vondra (unseen) in the grand foyer of the main EU Council building in Brussels, on January 15, 2009. Cerny admitted his sculpture mocking the 27 EU nations was created by a small group of Czechs, not by 27 European artists. The artwork is a symbolic map of Europe depicting stereotypes attributed to the individual member countries, such as Romania with Dracula's castle or Denmark with Lego cubes evoking the Prophet Mohammed's caricature that caused uproar in the Muslim world. Vondra apologized on January 15 to Bulgaria for any offence caused by the artwork portraying the country as a squat toilet, saying the image would be removed if Sofia insisted. AFP PHOTO / JOHN THYS
