"We have never agreed to the parameters that the Norwegians set unilaterally." He said that the Norwegian claim that the trawler had used illegal fishing equipment would be discussed in bilateral talks. He said that Russia objected to Norway's delimitation of its economic zone. "The incident took place in the Spitsbergen area, which the Norwegian side has proclaimed a fish-protection zone," Lavrov said in remarks posted on the Foreign Ministry's Web site. "We have not had any special contact with the Russians overnight, and they have not shown any particular interest in communicating with us." Despite this, the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said yesterday that his ministry was in constant contact with its Norwegian counterpart and that the situation would be resolved through negotiations. The ship changed course on Sunday, however, and headed for Russian waters with two Norwegian fisheries inspectors on board, said Norwegian Lt Col. John Espen Lien. "We have two coast guard ships that are following the trawler, and in addition, two other coast guard ships are keeping at a distance," Lien was quoted as saying by Norwegian news agency NTB.
A Russian trawler apparently fled prosecution for alleged fisheries violations in Norwegian waters, sparking a two-day sea chase before entering Russian waters. Norway's coast guard intercepted the Elektron trawler on Saturday for alleged fisheries violations in Norwegian protected waters and it began to follow the cutter to port as ordered. It might be something we might want to do but it's not something that we're going out of our way to do," he said.Jake, 39, added: "It would be very easy to try to be as vulgar as we possibly can be by getting our mitts on scarce, sacred objects [like paintings] but we're very conscious that the etchings are mass-produced objects."Asked what the appeal of Goya was, Dinos, 43, said: "He denotes the point at which art could no longer hide behind religion and the idea that it doesn't matter what happens here, you'll go to heaven afterwards When you have head and arms chopped .. you're just flesh that will rot.". But they re-stressed yesterday that none of Goya's etchings were produced in his own lifetime and that those who sentimentally opposed their versions had never looked at Goya's own work.They suggested they would not carry out similar "improvements" to a Goya painting - although the idea raised a slight glint in Dinos's eye "It would be a totally different thing to do.
The most significant work in the exhibition, which goes on public display at the White Cube gallery in London today, is a series that paints over and augments 80 etchings by Goya known as Los Caprichos. When the Chapman brothers carried out a similar exercise with Goya's other famous set of etchings, Disaster of War, two years ago, there was outrage from those who regarded the move as a desecration. And for anyone familiar with the work of Jake and Dinos Chapman, the artists are certainly re-presenting images they have worked with before. A combination of clown's faces and decapitated bodies, colouring book characters and monsters, populate the etchings and drawings, with the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya as the dominant influence, leavened with a hint of the French Dadaist, Marcel Duchamp.
