Can you explain how they

Can you explain how they were censored?

Censored...

I was asked to remove them from public display as inappropriate...

I can't believe it...

...I'm really disgusted and intrigued as to why they would do this. What makes them think they have a right to censor artists work? I'm assuming you did put them up around your "allocated" workspace??? If not maybe I can understand why they might want to take them down because otherwise everyone and anyone will be using the exhibition space to graffiti the walls with their political material (which might be quite a nice idea for an exhibtion actually [see Andy Deck's work at http for a good example of this] but you get my drift!)

I was so glad to get out of that place yesterday to be honest!

I am totally apalled that

I am totally apalled that the Dana Centre would do this. The Takeaway festival was completely excellent and I got loads out of it, however I already had a few grumbling doubts about the venue before I learnt about this censorship ... not letting kids in and the outrageously priced bar for example, but this truly takes the biscuit!!
Are there plans for the Takeaway festival to take place again next year? I do hope so, and I do hope that a more sympathetic venue can be found.

Man... I was kicked out !

Hi there, I'm xavier a french indepedant journalist... and i also have my story from the center. Day #2, I was just done with my "horrible" dana's burger and I arrived into some destroyed toilets. The paper machine was down the floor and the walls were full off pen. Something was written like "I hate this place". The last two days, we were complaining outside the center with few guys, that's true they are to strict... maybe one of them just vomit the burger and maybe he really wanted to act against the center... i don't know. So i came into those destroyed toilets, and under the shadow from the paperbox, i wrote "transgress to progress" and left. Day 3 in the morning, i was writing an email... and this girl came and asked me to follow her in her office... The story rebond on the 4th floor, where she asked me that the toilets were destroyed and that she had googled "transgress to progress" and that she saw the logo that i have on my computer. WHat da fuck, traped by googled. I told her the story, and she called the police... this is the procedure. (this was a funny moment, she said i understand you are an artist, but this the law) She told the story to the cop that decide not to put me in jail. The girl said that i have nothing to pay, but that i have to go out now and that she wanted to never see me again.
