Baltic outraging public decency?
An installation by Terence Koh, Gone Yet Still, may result in criminal charges against the Baltic art gallery. Koh's work, a statuette of a tumescent Jesus, was shown earlier this year, and, in a private prosecution, a member of the public has accused the gallery of outraging public decency. Gone Yet Still also attracted controversy when it was shown in 2005, and a similar Koh sculpture, Medusa, was withdrawn by the Saatchi Gallery in 2006. Baltic came under fire last year for a Nan Goldin photograph, though the image was eventually cleared of obscenity.
