AIDS-Related Art Show Draws Crowds: In the first 10 days of its scheduled run, an AIDS-related art show in New York City that attracted national attention when the National Endowment for the Arts rescinded--but later restored--a grant to support it drew more than 5,200 people, the gallery Artists Space said Monday. The endowment’s actions came as the most recent climax to a censorship crisis that first took form last spring. The show, “Witnesses: Against Our Vanishing,” is scheduled to remain on view until Jan. 6 at the gallery in the TriBeCa District of Manhattan. Meanwhile, Stux Gallery, another New York City facility, will open a solo show by photographer Andres Serrano on Dec. 6. Serrano’s photograph of a crucifix immersed in urine first provoked the controversy in April. The Serrano show, a gallery spokesman said, will also run until Jan. 6.
