Anti-Church Exhibit in Madrid Museum
The Spanish museum of modern and contemporary art exhibits a rather peculiar piece: matches with a sign reading “The only church that illuminates is a burning one". This slogan had also been painted by vandals on the walls of the churches all over the country. The matches also say: "Contribute!" and there is a picture of a church in flames on the box of matches.
The Spanish museum Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid specializes in the exhibition of modern and contemporary art. In October 2014 it displays the slogan “The only church that illuminates is a burning one” which dates back to the Russian anarchist Pyotr Kropotkin (1842-1921). It was later taken on by the Spanish anarchist Buenaventura Durruti (1896-1936) during the Spanish civil wars. Nowadays, many vandals paint this slogan on the walls of the churches all over the country. Source:http://www.elconfidencial.com/cultura/2014-10-29/unas-cerillas-incendian-el-reina-sofia_421699/
