Sculpture Embryo
The embryo did not receive enough attention after its installation, so the director of the Na zábradlí theater intervened. Together with other members of the theater, they spread the false news that some members of the theater corps were outraged by the play and that it would have to be covered up. David Černý also joined the whole event with his letter of apology. It was also partly a reaction to the case connected with the work of Entropa exhibited in Brussels. The event was a success, journalists took the news and more people started visiting the work.
