An article in The New York Times reports on a talk Wednesday by the curators of the controversial exhibition "Hide/Seek" in the National Portrait Gallery, which two weeks ago decided to remove an AIDS-themed artwork from the show after it came under attack. The article quotes Jonathan Katz, associate professor of visual studies and co-curator of the exhibition, who called the decision to remove the video "abhorrent."
