Artist: David Bowie/Floria Sigismondi
Year: 2013
Date of Action: May 2013
Region: North America
Location: Youtube
Subject: Sexual/Gender Orientation
Medium: Film Video
Confronting Bodies: Youtube
Description of Artwork: Floria Sigismondi produced a video for Bowie's new song. As described by Eric Danton at Rolling Stone, "The clip shows priests frolicking with scantily clad women in a nightclub where a Christ-like singer, played by Bowie, is performing. One of the women, played by Cotillard, develops stigmata, and Bowie disappears in a wink, presumably to ascend into heaven."
The Incident: Catholic League president Bill Donahue broadcasted his feelings towards the video, remarking that "in short, the video reflects the artist-- it's a mess." Youtube pulled the video down, noting that it violated its terms of service.
Results of Incident: Youtube soon restored the video to its website, placing an age requirement on its viewing, though (18+)
