Multiple artworks by Pablo Picasso have been relocated to a female toilet at Hobart's Mona, following an adverse court ruling which found a man was discriminated against when he was turned away from the women-only 'Ladies Lounge'.
- In short: Tasmanian art gallery Mona has hung artworks by Pablo Picasso in a female toilet cubicle in response to a failed court bid to exclude men from a women-only art installation.
- In April, a court ruling found Mona discriminated when it refused a New South Wales man entry to its Ladies Lounge.
- What's next? Mona curator Kirsha Kaechele is appealing the discrimination ruling in the Supreme Court.
