In fact, the boundary between what is considered offensive and what is not always very blurred. But, nevertheless, it is always very balanced attitude to the selection of works for the exhibition. And, in my opinion, better in this case be safe than to cause resentment of certain groups of people, even if you do not belong to these groups and do not share their beliefs.
No, of course, if the purpose of the exhibition - outrageous scandal and self-promotion by such means, these methods yield the expected result. But then we must be prepared in advance for the consequences. And most importantly, to understand that these consequences can be severe, not only for exhibition organizers, but for many, many other people did with them is not related (as is the case with the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad).
