Our Lady Mocked

In another alien alert in Belgium, as an exhibition called WIT, better to say WITless takes over a Catholic Church in Brussels. This was once the Church of the Beguins.




Stumble over a stone on your way to confession!






I could not find titles for the works of art, but I think these are pomegranates empty of their seds, symbolising that sin does not exist any more.





Snow-flakey Church





The mouse-trap

Naked statue in front of confessional





With the grotesque head.




Their " Altar" which I have seen the parish priest also use as a writing table.




The altar which should be used!


Not surprising that this Church should mock Our Lady



The alien's space ship


This alien is on permanent display in the Church, was there before the exhibition and will be there after it. Unless he gets into his spacecraft and flys off.

I'm not sure what the "rules" are regarding allowing churches to be used as exhibition spaces, but would assume that in such cases the Blessed Sacrament should be reserved in a side chapel which can be closed off in some way. Was it?

The weird red figure is atrocious, but I rather like the Brancusi inspired head (permanent alien). Is it the Magdalen?

I'm no fancy art critic, but I think that the empty pom thingies look like empty alien body shells that were writhing in pain before they shriveled up and died. What a holy mess in that church!
