You can find it at http://www.myartspace.com/blog/2008/03/art-space-talk-wafaa-bilal.html I personally think that Wafaa's freedoms have been ripped from him due to the closing of that exhibit. If a white artist had an exhibit about killing terrorists there would have been no controversy. I get tired of organizations and galleries offering artists an exhibit only to close it. I think they should owe the artist money when that occurs because I know a few galleries that charge artists if they back out of a show. Brian Sherwin just interviewed Wafaa and this was mentioned.
