-'''Description of Artwork:''' A temporary, crocheted covering for Paul DiPasquale’s original sculpture of King Neptune on the boardwalk at Virginia Beach. The work was commissioned by Virginia MOCA for its exhibition “Turn the Page: The First Ten Years of Hi-Fructose.” Olek and a team of volunteers fabricated the covering by hand.
+'''Description of Artwork:''' Aktions are Dionysian extravaganzas that has involved carcasses and blood, as well as pretend mutilation and crucifixion.
-'''The Incident:''' When Olek made a last minute decision to add a gas mask to Neptune's face- an overt motif intended to provoke thought about the man-made harm done to the environment—the museum took down the artwork. Olek, who creates large-scale crocheted (and sometimes controversial) artworks, added the gas mask to drive home the message that human pollution has put our oceans and the future of the planet in jeopardy. MOCA officials claim that the addition of the aluminum and rubber gas mask, a structural base for additional crochet, was a breach of Olek’s contract, which specifies the use of environmentally friendly and recycled materials as a symbolic “testament to [the artist’s] commitment to the health of our planet's water.”
+'''The Incident:''' No official explanation was given, but there was a widespread speculation that links the cancellation to an online petition asking for its cancellation that gathered over 5,000 signatures. According to Animal Politico, Jumex staff has denied that the petition was responsible for the cancellation. The Museo Jumex cited only that it was because of an “administrative situation”.
-'''Results of Incident:''' Despite NCAC's attempts to help Olek and the museum reach an agreement, the temporary sculpture was not reinstated.
+'''Results of Incident:''' The exhibition was cancelled.
