America through the eyes of Andres Serrano

Sperm, dead bodies, or a crucifix submerged in his urine. The American artist, Andres Serrano, is renowned for his controversial artwork. His profane images oppose the conservative values of the American government: think of Christianity, drug prohibition and a ban on lgbtqia+ rights. His latest work revolves more around outspoken political themes, such as Donald Trump and the insurrection at the US Capitol. During this evening, journalist Laila Frank sits down with Serrano to discuss art and politics.
After 9/11 Andres Serrano started working on his America series, including symbols of 9/11, photographs of 115 Americans, and his famous portrait of Donald Trump, a representation of the American Dream. In 2022, he presented his first-ever film project Insurrection, about the attack on the United States Capitol.

When artists pitch to politics (for funding), you get politics, you don't get art.
