The three paintings were created using slightly more than four ounces of semen infected with HIV, according to the artist — EA Conner.
“These paintings were created as a reminder that we all come in contact with people every day who are HIV positive,” he wrote on his ArtPrize profile page. “The red spots on the Scorpion and Bio-hazard paintings are actual HIV positive semen and the gold spots on the Red Ribbon painting are HIV positive.”

I hate having to defend the free speech rights of the likes of this artist and hateful types like Westboro Baptist (but I will).
Using bodily fluids for art is gross. Next they will say those smears on public bathroom walls are art and not be allowed to remove it.
If that is the case the around the toilet of mens bathroom is a work of art!
8:55 you're off on this one. if someone wants to get donations and fund this themselves, fine; but DON'T use MY Money (tax dollars). it says it was partially funded by tax dollars. This has got to stop. why should ANY tax dollars be used for this trash?
We have run out of interesting things in this country. This is really a sick display , it's not art . It also tells you how sick our government is to support or fund this crap.
Of course I expected nothing less under this adminisration .
