Organizers of a politically charged art exhibit at Columbia College's
Glass Curtain Gallery thought their show might draw controversy.
But they didn't expect two U.S. Secret Service agents would be among
the show's first visitors.
The agents turned up Thursday evening, just before the public opening
of "Axis of Evil, the Secret History of Sin," and took pictures of some
of the art pieces – including "Patriot Act," showing President Bush on
a mock 37-cent stamp with a revolver pointed at his head.
The agents asked what the artists meant by their work and wanted
museum director CarolAnn Brown to turn over the names and phone numbers
of all the artists. They wanted to hear from the exhibit's curator,
Michael Hernandez deLuna, within 24 hours, she said.
