'Mug Shots' of Bush Administration on Display at NYPL



NEW YORK (1010 WINS)  -- Some think it's funny, some think it's highly inappropriate.

AUDIO: Juliet Papa Reports
 
There are about a half dozen doctored 'mug shots'  of President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and other top administration officials, including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, on display at the New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue.

The exhibit, "Line Up," is the work of artists Nora Ligorano and Marshall Reese. Each Bush administration member clutches a clapboard, as in a standard mug shot, with the date of his and her "arrest" -- a day when each supposedly made "incriminating" statements regarding the Iraq war.

The installation includes audio clips of the administration members complete with the sound of a flashbulb popping and a prison door slamming. The curator of the library's print collection, said the exhibit was in keeping with a historical tradition dating back to 18th century England.

The exhibit runs through Jan. 27.
