Okay, who knows a museum we can stage an orgy in?

Over the past three years, the group's installations and performances have included organising the mock execution of migrant workers in a Moscow supermarket, an impromptu expletive-filled punk rock performance in a courtroom, throwing live cats at McDonald's cashiers and painting an enormous penis on a bridge in St Petersburg.

The group first came to prominence in February 2008, two days before the carefully choreographed elections that brought President Dmitry Medvedev to power. About 12 activists, one of whom was a pregnant woman, entered the Biology Museum and staged an orgy.

Well, I don't think they ought to be arrested and beaten up for the orgy--in fact, being that it was at a biology museum, it seems quite apt and educational, but I don't know if I can forgive them for throwing cats! Poor kitties! I'd kick those artists a few times myself for doing that.

I rather like this one, too as the bridge rises up:

The most notorious Voina action was last June, when several members of the group painted a penis on the Liteiny Bridge in St Petersburg. Evading and fighting off security, the 65-metre high image was completed just before the bridge opened, as it does each evening to let ships pass through. The penis "erected", directly facing the St Petersburg headquarters of the FSB, the KGB's successor.

Here is the erect member in question:

How about this place: The Icelandic Phallological Museum ?

Orgy or no, it's a pretty cool place just to hang out.

I have to agree with 3 that the group sounds like a bunch of fun people, except I don't want anyone throwing kitties around and otherwise abusing them. I also wonder why they throw them at McDonalds cashiers, who seem pretty inoffensive, instead of at cops or politicians.
