MANILA, August 16, 2011— Artist Mideo Cruz’s “Poleteismo”, an art installation wherein he put a wooden penis on the image of Jesus Christ, cannot be considered as a work of art, a national artist said Tuesday.

Francisco Sionil Jose, a National Artist for Literature, criticized Cruz’s work which was exhibited at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) as nothing but “immature” and “juvenile.”
