Editing Body fluids in art (section)

== Criticism and difficulties ==
Depicting objects of popular respect (religious subjects, flags, etc.) in art which includes body fluids can trigger public protests due to such material's historic association with dirtiness. The outcry about the ''[[Piss Christ]]'' photo is an example.<ref name="HighPerformance">{{Cite web |url=http://www.communityarts.net/readingroom/archivefiles/2002/09/shooting_the_kl.php |work=Community Arts Network |title=Shooting the Klan: An Interview with Andres Serrano |last=Fusco |first=Coco |date=Fall 1991 |publisher=CommunityArtsNetwork |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110419190933/http://www.communityarts.net/readingroom/archivefiles/2002/09/shooting_the_kl.php |archive-date=2011-04-19 }}</ref>

In addition to the obvious difficulties of preserving [[perishable]] material, there can be regulations complicating transport by rail, truck, or aircraft of liquid body fluids due to the fluids' possible classification as [[dangerous goods]].<ref>{{cite web|title=International Air Transit Association page on DGR (Dangerous Goods Regulations)|url=http://www.iata.org/ps/publications/dgr/Pages/manuals.aspx|access-date=2011-08-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110805095113/http://www.iata.org/ps/publications/dgr/Pages/manuals.aspx|archive-date=2011-08-05|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The sale of blood art via [[eBay]] is prohibited as eBay prohibits the sale of body parts, and classifies blood art as falling under this heading.<ref>{{cite web|title=Blood Art|url=http://www.artnewsblog.com/2005/03/blood-art.htm|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080224104631/http://www.artnewsblog.com/2005/03/blood-art.htm|archive-date=2008-02-24}}</ref>
