The Setting: Home of X (top visual) and Y (bottom visual) on derby day.

Question for May 4th, 2010

X represents various components of the organization that commissioned it. Influenced by Monty Python's brand of humour, it has the following (not exhaustive):

A half-full box of half eaten Praline chocolates
A series of connected squat toilets
A Dracula style theme park
A piece with priests erecting the rainbow flag of the Gay rights movement
A structure draped over by a banner that says "GRÈVE!", meaning strike
A football pitch with players masturbating with a football
A pool of water with some minarets visible

While X received widespread condemnation, the people who created it expected it to be treated merely as a joke. Some people felt X revealed the lack of humour among those who criticized it. While X was not displayed at the place it was commissioned for, it can be seen on display at the Centre of Contemporary Art DOX in Prague-Holešovice.

What is X?
