By Binoy Kampmark, published 30/3/2021

'A coloniser artist intending to produce art with the actual blood of colonised people is abusive, colonising and re-traumatising.'

ABORIGINAL ART COMMUNITY RIGHTLY REJECTS SIERRA'S BLOOD-ON-UK-FLAG-"ART"-PROPOSAL

Binoy's confusing prose, on this occasion, clouds the reality that: 23 March, 2021 http://news.artnet.com/art-world/santiago-sierra-dark-mofo-cancelled-1954026

"An Australian Arts Festival Has Canceled Artist Santiago Sierra’s Plans to Douse the British Flag in the Blood of Indigenous People"

"The Dark [Museum of Old and New Art in Hobart (MOFO)] festival pulled the work after Indigenous artists around the country decried the work

..."There has been enough First Peoples blood spilt across the world because of the English,” wrote Kimberley Moulton,...“This is not ‘decolonizing,’ it’s not provocative or groundbreaking conceptual practice… it’s shock jock art.”

“The invitation to donate blood to this project is disrespectful and ignorant,” wrote Cass Lynch, of the Aboriginal Noongar people, in Overland magazine. “To ask First Nations people to give blood to drench a flag recreates, not critiques, the abhorrent conditions of colonzation.”

"Douse the British Flag in the Blood of Indigenous People" was the perverted idea of Spanish artist Santiago Sierra.

NOT MINE!!

Spanish artist Santiago Sierra's idea of doing that with indigenous, or non-indigenous blood, is equally disgusting.

Did the artist dowse the Spanish Flag in the blood of the Incas and
others in their colonies or does he just have a thing about the British Empire ?

Quite obviously a large percentage of the so called ARTS world is very sick, & needs treatment in a mental institution,

Of course as a Spaniard, the bloke could merely be trying to get some revenge for what the British did to the Spanish armada.
