Extinction Rebellion climate change activists who glued themselves to a protective covering of a Picasso on Sunday have raised security concerns at the National Gallery of Victoria.
The two protesters, dressed in black, glued themselves to the protective case covering the artist’s painting, Massacre in Korea, in an embarrassing security breach for NGV organisers.
The protesters placed a black banner at their feet, which declared that climate chaos equalled war and famine.

Supporters later tweeted that no damage was done to the artwork because it had been covered to protect the work, however the glue was still visible after the pair were removed.
Victoria Police said three protesters had entered the gallery when a man and a woman glued themselves to the covering of the Picasso painting shortly after noon.
A NSW woman, 49, and a Melbourne man were removed from the painting just after 2pm, the gallery said, after causing considerable disruption.
The pair and a 49-year-old Melbourne man were assisting police investigating the major security breach.

Massacre in Korea is part of a Pablo Picasso exhibition at the NGV developed by the Centre Pompidou and the Musée National Picasso-Paris.
“The exhibition features over 80 works by Picasso alongside over 100 works by more than 50 of his contemporaries, drawn from premier French national collections, as well as the NGV Collection,” the NGV said.
Massacre in Korea is an expressionistic painting that was his third anti-war artwork, depicting a massacre of a group of naked women and children by a firing squad.
Extinction Rebellion claimed responsibility for the stunt, one of many conducted by the group in Melbourne in recent years.
“Two Rebels have glued on to the glass of Picasso’s ‘Massacre in Korea’,” the group said in an online post.
“This painting shows the horrors of war. Climate breakdown will mean an increase in conflict around the world. Now is the time for everyone and all institutions to stand up for action!”
The paintings were brought to Australia as part of the Melbourne Winter Masterpieces 2022 program, which is a key part of Victoria’s major events calendar.
The paintings are normally smothered in security and brought to Australia in a highly sophisticated manner to prevent artworks from being damaged. It is likely worth many millions of dollars.

 

[Humungus]

That Jay Leno is a right bastard.

 

[wiggins]

That Jay Leno is a right bastard.

Who's Jay Leno?

Ah, now I see. Remarkable resemblance.

What a bunch of entitled cunts these cunts are.

 

[(G.O.A.T.) Tubemonkey]

Fucking people have no life or respect. Just let the games begin, these type people need to be culled!

 

[Kapitän Ghul']

This is the ugliest couple I have ever seen. No wonder they hate everything.

 

[Fact21]

They should just unleash hell on scum like this….beat the living shit out of them and then put them in a Mexican prison for life.

 

[Blood_Sport]

I do my bit for the enviroment, I purchased 2 of these to put on our suitcases, now when we're at the airport , the not so clued up people can become woke to global warming caused by jets taking people on holiday.. it's simple, yet very effective

 

[JAMES HÜRZOG]

Stupid fat cunt‘s ! That painting should be out of arms reach anyway! Or better protected at least! ….I understand it’s behind a Protective plastic But that’s beside the point .

 

[MysteryTraveler]

Fucking people have no life or respect. Just let the games begin, these type people need to be culled!

I'd like to see these morons glued to a windmill.

 

[DokraOwl]

Hope they take it a step further next time and self-immolate themselves, anything less than that hardly warrants attention.

 

[wiggins]

I would have been hard pressed not to belt these two mental dwarfs...

But then of course I would be the one charged and accused of being a 'toxic masculinity cis man'...

The problem is that the Aus judiciary is so woke they found a woman not guilty of stopping her car in the middle of Sydney Harbour Bridge the other day with her head locked to the steering wheel with a steering lock.

Because, wait for it, she had PTSD from 'climate change anxiety'...

I'd have been tempted to set fire to the car. Just for GG lol's. Lol Lol Lol...

And film and post of course...

 

[Guipago]

Total Fuckwits!

 

[MATAMUERTOS]

fuck art ! who cares ? should have left them fuckers glued to that ugly ass painting.

 

[mrln]

who cares about the exhibitionist. as long as its female....

[Rick James]

This is the ugliest couple I have ever seen. No wonder they hate everything.

That’s a Karen. For sure.

 

[DIOCAGNACCIO]

Let's start by cutting off the hands of these two idiots ... then calmly we proceed with the restoration.

[Brainfart]

To be fair, Picasso was a communist and was in the same boat as the idiots that glued themselves to the painting. They actually made an attack on one of their own idiologically speaking...
