    • Abstract:
      The article presents the author's views on the fear of art and the importance for artists to understand freedom of speech and the negative aspects of self-censorship as of March 2016. He states that art challenges artists' conventions and limits and can raise issues about subjects deemed taboo by the society. The efforts of New York-based New Museum of Contemporary Art to provide artists with a safe place for conversations are discussed as well as media coverage of culture. Also discussed are the factors that make censorship more complicated even in democratic countries.
