FREDERICTON – An art gallery in Eastern Canada is leveraging a notorious, damaged photograph of a crucifix floating in urine to spark public discourse — even drawing criticism from a member of Parliament.
The Beaverbrook Art Gallery, located in New Brunswick’s capital Fredericton, is exhibiting American artist Andres Serrano’s controversial piece until the end of November.
It marks the first time the Piss Christ (Immersions), on loan from the Rennie Collection in Vancouver, has been shown in Atlantic Canada.
