re: censorship, I would look for a book called _The Play of the
Unmentionable: an installation by Joseph Kosuth at the Brooklyn
Museum_.(1992) This was an outstanding exhibition created by Kosuth and
the Brooklyn Museum in 1990. This exhibit straddled the line between
being a "curated" exhibition and a large installation/artwork that
mimics/comments on museum exhibitions. (as in Fred Wilson's _Mining the
Museum_), but this one looks at the history of censorship in Western art,
back to the middle ages, through the early 20th Century, Nazi Germany
and todays controversies. The exhibition treated quotes from artists and
critics, as artworks in themselves, hung next to examples of censored
works.
