To echo the event of the Chinese University Student Magazine, below is a painting by one of the Master of Fine Art (MFA) student, Max Willis. He is a foreign student from Germany. From time to time, he posts his painting outside the wall of the graduate student lab.
One day, a number of office staffs asked me if the below painting was an assignment. I said no. One of the staffs asked if there may be any concerns about the nudity in the painting. I said no.
Couple of days later, the painting was removed by Max. He mentioned that there were complaints in the School about the nudity in the painting shown there. He had a chance to talk to the senior management. He was advised to demonstrate local sensitivity in displaying his works.
After another brief discussion with Max, we thought it is necessary to bring out

- This incident happened well before the recent Chinese University student magazine event.
- The painting was removed not by Max himself.
something is terribly wrong about our society. that fear. what have universities become? how much have we let down years of feminist movements, interrogations of the discourse of the body...culture is at war against possessitve protectionism...and "local sensitivity" as excuse? who gives whom the right to say what is/ is not "local"?
Strange! What an excuse!
how dare the university represents "the local"? Who is not sensitive to the local society? The university is!!!!!!!
By posing it as an issue of cultural differences, local vs. foreign, the institution frees itself of any responsibilities to judge and resolve .
Oh man, this is bullshit. And we call ourselves cosmopolitan.
what the fuck here !
that is stupid...i can understand if it was a nude of a sexual nature...but this is nude of a artist nature...
whats the point of having a MA or MFA course?? what does MA, MFA mean...MASTER OF ARTS and MASTER OF FINE ARTS....
we artist, designers, public people, have a right to express ourselves..
想起以前風月版的被星星蓋起兩大點的裸女。
Nice Article ! I love getting blog information, as I like to reference them to research papers in college, well summer school now. I found a cool research price site to use for my finance paper on gold coins and how the cities have gold ira accounts to use to help out colleges, but do not.
It's a weird kind of art. Well, we cannot question for art comes in different form, it may look weird, it is still a form of art. But, what does this art, want to convey?
I like art and have some in my office, great post. Thanks
Thanks for the post. We will be selling art in the near future on our website.
That was a nice post! I am also inclined to arts and i love reading articles like this. I like the picture. Simon a student.
The art really proves that Mike is an excellent Master of Art! I believe nudity displayed is an art beyond with deep meaning. I don't know how to say it, but that's it.
Great art! Beautiful!
Wonderful art
I am grateful to know about this issue for i love arts also!
