Should the Mayor be New York's Arbiter of Taste?

Why some New Yorkers are up in arms at Hans Haacke's work for the Whitney Biennial

Should the public be scandalised by Hans Haacke's artwork in the Whitney Museum's Biennial that draws parallels between arts policies of New York's Mayor Rudy Giuliani and the politics of Hitler? Plus, Mike Leigh talks about Topsy Turvy, his biopic of Gilbert and Sullivan; Rutherford, a play about the great scientist; Mona Hatoum's new sculptures for the relaunched Tate Britain gallery in London; Aida by Elton John and Tim Rice on Broadway.
