Mais Hipocrisia - Bill Henson at Roslyn Oxley9

Controversial Child Photography Show Shut Down by Police

Confesso que fico baralhado.
Tratar-se-á só de hipocrisia e da vulgar estupidez das multidões?


Este senhor é só representado pela Robert Miller Gallery New York e quem quiser comprar um simples livrinho dele, fica a saber que em segunda mão, custa mais de $500. Ah... pois é!

A verdade é que polémicas destas trouxeram Tierney Gearon para a ribalta, fizeram ainda há pouco tempo, Annie Leibovitz corar e a preciosa adolescente Miley Cyrus teve mesmo que pedir desculpa.
Na verdade não há pachorra para tanta parvoíce, ignorância, hipocrisia e marketers.
Não se trata de caso de polícia, porque não pode simplesmente o consumidor decidir?
Um dia destes, pintaremos de branco todos os tectos das igrejas com moçoilos nus e baniremos o menino Jesús dos presépios para sempre!
Mas que merda de moralistas! Tantos à fome e ninguém quer saber!

"The opening night of an exhibition by the photographer Bill Henson featuring images of naked children was dramatically cancelled after police visited the Paddington gallery to investigate child pornography claims.
The future of the exhibition at the Roslyn Oxley9 gallery, which featured images of a girl and a boy, aged 12 and 13 - some of which also appear on the gallery's website - is now in doubt.
Superintendent Allan Sicard from Rose Bay local area command cancelled the opening after consulting the gallery owners. The future of the show was yet to be decided.
Talkback radio switchboards were swamped with calls after the Herald wrote about the exhibition yesterday.
The gallery's owner, Roslyn Oxley, said she had been showing similar work by Henson since 1990 "and they have never offended people".
Asked by Channel Seven if she would let her daughter pose for Henson, she said: "She's been in some of his shots."
Henson said last night he was determined the exhibition should go ahead.
One artist who attended the exhibition opening, Eugenia Raskopoulos, said the cancellation was "censorship of the worst kind".
"I cannot believe that they have cancelled this opening which features pictures that are honest and beautiful and in no way pornographic," she said."in the Sydney Morning Herald
