'F**k White People' artist tells FF+ to stay away from art critique
Cape Town - Artist Dean Hutton has said that the Freedom Front Plus (FF Plus) should avoid criticising art after the political party called for the removal of Hutton's Fuck White People installation at the National Art Gallery.
“It would probably be best for political parties like the FF Plus to continue to use platforms such as theirs to create false hope for a white homeland in Africa and stay away from art criticism,” Hutton, who is white, told News24.
FF Plus leader Dr Pieter Groenewald said in a statement on Friday that the installation was racist and spurred racial tension.
According to Hutton, reverse racism does not exist.
“I would like to remind the good doctor that the reverse of racism is love, and celebration of difference. 'Reverse Racism' is a fantasy of white people who are keen to experience the kinds of oppression that they have used against indigenous people of this country,” Hutton said.
