Photo Gallery Art at Berlin's Teufelsberg Spy Station
With the NSA spying scandal fresh in everyone's minds, the US agency's former Cold War installation in Berlin has been taken over for an art show. One installation features bathtub filled with red liquid that signifies blood by Dirk Krechting, 44. Consider it a cliché statement about warfare and the uselessness of warfare, spying and the uselessness of spying. We are taking a blood bath in the uselessness of spying and war.
