we should not censor controversial art: but there should be boundaries where when crossed needs to be addressed with a warning. these types of art should also not be normalized (it would lose effect if it WAS normalised). the art also shouldn't break any laws...... come harm to others

Controversial art should not be censored unless it bring actual harm to others.

Instead, the responsibility of the audience with their role as observers, depends entirely on them. If they feel uncomfortable or uneasy viewing a certain type of artwork, they have the option of refusing to look at it. At the same time, artists who choose to display controversial or possibly offensive pieces of art, will have to face the consequences of being looked down on or having their creative products taken down in places like galleries. Furthermore, controversial artworks that explore extreme measures allow the message being conveyed to be amplified for an audience. If we take this away, not only do we taint the recognition that an artist could receive for their piece but we impinge their human right – the freedom of expression

We feel that controversial art should not be censored. Censorship is the restriction of an artist's form of self-expression — especially since some of these artists have also chosen to voluntarily harm themselves in order to convey a message. However, we also understand that some Controversial works may be disturbing or unpleasant to certain audiences. We could instead choose to put a warning before displaying the work such that the audience can make a more informed choice whether or not they want to view the artwork.

We should not censor art, however there is a limit. For example, if it puts people's lives in danger, it should be censored. However any other controversial art should be allowed because the whole point of art is to provoke and question.

no

- we should not censor art because it is a reflection of culture and portrays the artist's views on society. Should the artists do something that crosses the line (eg. murder someone) they will face consequences. we should not censor their work. but can include notices or a disclaimer that the content may disturb some people.

IS THIS ART?

Although controversial art can be provocative, it should not be censored as people have freedom to like different things. If you don't like it just don't look at it

to some people, CONTROVERSIAL ART SHOULD BE CENSORED. people may be sensitive and might find art that should be enjoyable, offensive. To prevent backlash on some controversial artists, these art works should be censored. Some art are extremely extreme (e.g: hurting living things) and can cause many people to be numb to these topics in the disputable works.

to some people,
CONTROVERSIAL ART SHOULD NOT BE CENSORED. The point of art is fir the artist to express his views and opinions towards a certain topic. Art should be a medium to start discussions amongst the audience, thus it will be meaningless for the population to just look at art for aesthetic and pleasing purposes. Even though art may be controversial, artists have the choice to make decisions based on how they want to portray these works. The artists will be the ones facing consequences thus, they will be accountable for what they release and exhibit to the public. Therefore, these artists will be responsible for their works and should not be up to someone who has the authority over what the artist decides to exhibit.

as it provides the people with a new perspective about a certain matter, hence leading to greater exposure and knowledge. Although some art may be extreme, they are of such nature to make a statement. Moreover, the viewers should be able to decide for themselves whether they want to participate in the art or not; they should not be  restricted or forced to conform to society's or the government's beliefs. - Si Ying, Kanako, Natalie

To censor art, no matter its historical significance and public disagreement it may bring about for various reasons, renders the initial purpose of art useless. Art, in its purest form, is meant to be the expression of feelings, the visual representation of what the artists is feeling or trying to show. All people need to have the freedom to express opinions and feeling. While there is a factor of danger at play, by freely promoting controversial art that threatens health and lives of the artist, such as Rhythm Zero by Marina Abramovic and Shoot by Chris Burden, which could potentially inspire youths to impulsively and similarly flirt with death, why should we bar them and degrade the value of their voice? This is not to say that public concern over safety, debasement of religious factors and the integrity of art should be invalidated. Precautions and warnings should be taken to protect the artist's life as much as possible without compromising their vision or the message they are trying to voice, but to hinder them from

uh i think we should let them be....if the artist made the decision to carry out the art work, he/she should have taken the consequences into consideration. They would have known that the art work was dangerous and if they died, that was their choice. their life, their choice. #freewill#dowhateveryouwant#livelife

no! different people will like and dislike different things, it's only natural. everyone has the right to choose what they want to see and they have a choice to choose what they wish to patronise. (eg, galleries will inform public about exhibitions, if you dont like the artist/content, dont patronise it) we dont have to restrict everyone to one particular kind of art and force everyone to conform to what others like
