Annette Messager's art can be provocative, and it certainly was so 25-30 years ago, but it hardly counts as "dangerous". Until the current one-woman show at the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
In an off-shoot of her hybrid stuffed animals she's dangled huge stuffed body parts from winches bolted to the lobby ceiling. The winches release regularly, dropping an ear or a foot or a hand through the open stairwell into the basement, catching right before it hits the ground. Kids love it. Check it out on the Centre's web-cam (click on "webcam3").
The Centre's cordoned off the basement "strike zone" (and its piles of pillows), but this week widened the zone and posted prominent "DANGER" signs. Maybe the kids love it a little too much.
