Review of MAC Birmingham

On Good Friday, my children and I visited the MAC to get a drink in the cafe and avoid the rain. I was flabbergasted to be sitting there with them to realise the video on the main wall on entry to the MAC and on the way to toilets was of a woman having sex and trying to orgasm. When I spoke to a member of staff she tried to explain to me it relates to a current exhibition. This is all well and good - but it is not appropriate for this to be on a loop being shown at 3pm on a bank holiday in the afternoon when there were lots of children watching. I have made a complaint but of course no one from MAC has called as promised. I am therefore considering making a complaint with police as this is indecent material being shown in a public place. I am sure there are some people out there reading this who think this is acceptable as "art" but it really isn't -
