Tasmania’s Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) has moved part of its collection of Picassos to a ladies’ restroom after a court ruled that displaying it in a women-only exhibition space discriminated against men.
Kirsha Kaechele, the American artist who created the Ladies Lounge, is appealing the Tasmanian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (Tascat) decision from April that found the museum to be violating the state’s anti-discriminatory law and ordered Mona to allow “persons who do not identify as ladies” to enter the exhibition.
