It’s been nearly two months since the Smithsonian removed David Wojnarowicz’s “A Fire in My Belly,” and the criticism towards Smithsonian Secretary G. Wayne Clough’s decision has not died down. In fact, one of the Smithsonian’s own museums, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden released a statement on their website decrying the precedent that Clough set.

The statement reads, in part:

The attempt by any individual or group to restrict the content-not only artistic, but cultural, historical, and scientific-that may be shown in an institution that serves the public as a whole is counter not only to the founding American principle of freedom of thought and expression, but also to the spirit of inquiry at the core of the Smithsonian’s mission. Hence we are deeply troubled by the precedent the Institution’s leadership has set with its decision. We believe that bowing to pressure with regard to the works on view in its galleries harms the integrity of the individual Smithsonian units and the Institution as a whole.

Meanwhile, there is a protest planned for the Smithsonian’s Board of Regents meeting Monday. Unlike other protests of the Smithsonian’s decision to remove the video, it will be the first protest held to call for the resignation of Clough.

And, the Museum of Censored Art soldiers on. Maura Judkis reports that as of Thursday, the trailer has seen 2,803 visitors and only three of those visitors have complained. The museum will remain outside of the National Portrait Gallery until February 13, the day that the Hide/Seek exhibit, where the video was originally displayed at the NPG, closes.
