An angry choir of outraged Catholics, including Cardinal Edward Egan, forced the cancellation Friday of a planned Holy Week exhibition featuring a nude, anatomically correct chocolate sculpture of Jesus Christ.
The hotel that houses the Lab Gallery announced the shutdown of the “My Sweet Lord†show after it was inundated with complaints regarding the six-foot confectionary Christ. In a letter that opened “Dear friends,†Roger Smith Hotel president James Knowles cited the public outcry for his decision.
“Your response ... is crystal clear and has brought to our attention the unintended reaction of you and other conscientious friends of ours to the exhibition,†Knowles wrote in the two-paragraph cancellation notice.
Matt Semler, creative director of the Lab Gallery, resigned in protest.
The chocolate creation of artist Cosimo Cavallaro was the victim of “a strong-arming from people who haven’t seen the show, seen what we’re doing,†Semler said. “They jumped to conclusions completely contrary to our intentions.†The artwork, fashioned from more than 200 pounds of milk chocolate, presented Christ with his arms outstretched as though nailed to an invisible cross. The Cavallaro creation, in contrast with typical religious portrayals of Christ, did not include a loincloth.
