Protesters from climate change activist group Extinction Rebellion have been arrested after glueing themselves to a Picasso painting at the National Gallery of Victoria on Sunday.logos glued their hands to the protective covering of the artwork, Massacre in Korea, which is part of the Picasso Century exhibit.The protesters laid a large black banner at their feet which said, “Climate Chaos=War + Famine”.
A 49-year-old NSW woman and a 59-year-old Footscray man were removed from the painting just after 2pm. The spokeswoman did not respond to a question as to how the protesters managed to evade security and glue themselves to the artwork.Jane Morton, Extinction Rebellion campaigner, posted on social media “If you think this is disruption, wait till you see #ClimateCollapse.”
carawaters Chris Bowen should reassure Extinction Rebellion that Labor climate change policy to mitigate Australia's 1% global emissions will save us, no need worry ?
carawaters Fucking sacrilege 😡😡😡
carawaters What the actual — WHY? I can’t understand this way of thinking.
carawaters The two climate activists were angry at Picasso for not saying and doing anything about climate change.
carawaters I support extinction rebellion but don't quite understand what the hell Picasso has to do with it?
carawaters Keep the cameras on them for the next 48 hours and they will learn a very important lesson about public exposure!!!!
carawaters Leave the hands there and remove the activists.
carawaters Maybe ask them if any efforts we and others make to help the climate would be a waste of time if a few nukes start flying everywhere in coming months How much do we need to reduce our emissions to offset radiation of any nuke' fallout ?
carawaters Without ramifications they will just do it again
carawaters Not protesters they are criminals
carawaters Use Bolt cutters to release them. That would deter others
carawaters 🤦♂️
carawaters Not exactly self immolation... An idea tho?
carawaters To save them I suggest amputating their hands.
carawaters Why can’t they glue their eyes and mouths shut?
carawaters I would have turned the lights off and shut the doors.
carawaters Terrible! 🐸
carawaters Nothing pepper sparay and a baton wouldnt fix
carawaters Hmm...I wonder if that was vegan organic adhesive. Because there's a butt load of oil based chemicals in super glue, not to mention the solvent to remove the glue, and petrol for the cop car to take the to get booked....ExtinctionRebellion
carawaters What is it with Melbourne and Picasso!
carawaters Could have just let some spiders loose on the walls beside them and watched them quickly unstuck themselves. 🤣
carawaters You sure it wasn’t the cookers pretending?
carawaters
carawaters Clear the room . Leave them there for 24 hours. Don’t give them the attention they crave.
carawaters Malicious damage. 12 months inside plus restitution. That may take the wind out of their sails but I suspect they won’t even get charged. Sigh….
carawaters Yet not a word about the anti-abortion protesters who attempted to break into your State Parliament building?!?!
carawaters Be useful and glue yourselves to the herald sun’s doors. If you want real progress in australia, focus on Murdoch and Murdoch only. Cut the snakes head off.
carawaters Glue there eyes shut
carawaters Leave them there
carawaters They would had got a better response if they’re glued themselves to the railway line , shame such waste of talent 😆😆
carawaters Vandals/Terrorists throw the book at them.
carawaters It's your fault for giving them coverage.
carawaters I don't care what the cause is DON'T DAMAGE ART!!!!!
carawaters Why didn't they glue themselves to the middle of Flinders Street if they wanted to make a point about climatechange?
carawaters Yes peaceful protest is great. Just don't fuck with the art please.
carawaters
carawaters Lucky for them that they are White committing crimes in Australia. They will get justice!
TomMcIlroy carawaters Flogs with 15 minutes of fame!
carawaters Extinction Rebellion only hurt their cause they never help it!
carawaters And? Just leave them there and don't give them the attention they crave by reporting this rot.
carawaters Doomsday cultists. Someone suggested leaving them glued to it and selling tickets but that would be modern art, entirely unsuitable for NGV.
carawaters Cut their bloody hands off. How disgusting
carawaters Leave them there stuck as a message for the rest of them See how many days they survive That would be great art
carawaters They only do this for media coverage so... stop covering it
carawaters I say leave them there to fend for themselves. Any damage to NGV or it’s property to be extracted from their dole or pension
carawaters All these activists are capable of is destroying other peoples creations They want to make everyone as miserable as they are Charge them and jail them for every cent of damage amd disruption they’ve caused
carawaters That’s no way to get support. Absolutely stinks.
carawaters Worth $100m ... why?
carawaters What heathen pricks! They could've at least glued themselves to the frame and not risk damaging the art.
