Yeah I noticed the horrendousness of this too. IThe NY branding is on EVERY LEVEL. Is this supposed to be a STAC tie-in ie “CARRIEd away”? If so, someone in marketing should be shot. New York is pretty. This look is NOT pretty.
But. There is a sliver lining: they are selling American edible goodies on Level 2 near the kitchenware dept, and I stocked up on Reece’s Cups yesterday. Peanut butter and chocolate, people: it is the one thing you just can’t fault the Yanks for.

Having raised the name Bill Henson Ant, i just have to have a small rant. everyone can feel free to ignore it as irrelevant to this blog.
It really pisses me off that the media, in order to ramp up the hysteria over this issue, insist on discussing whether Bill Hensons work is art or pornography. the guy is an artist and the work is art. Pornography has ever been in the eye of the beholder!
But that is beside the point. A twelve year old is not capable of deciding whether posing nude for a photographer (and incidentally in this case, a television crew) is good for him or her – that is why they are still legally under the care of their parents.
If the parents think that posing nude is in the best interests of their 12 year old daughter then they need to be beaten about the head with large sticks. It simply does not fall within the disturbingly wide range of things you are allowed to visit upon your children.
I would be interested to see what rules exist within the film industry for the protection of underage actors and would be surprised if there weren’t laws about how they can be portrayed. I also think there must be laws about posing nude for life drawing classes.
Ok, sorry, I’ll stop now.

The whole argument of nudity, young or old, is crap.
The problem revolves around a society that, with plenty of evidence to the contrary, considers that a child is intrinsically harmed by first hand experience of nudity.
It’s the early brainwashing of kids with these fundamentally flawed concepts that creates the problems.

Yes Rolly, you are right. but it all depends on context. if we all wandered around nude then there wouldn’t be a problem (well not this problem anyway) but we don’t.
So in the context of the society in which we actually live – not some nude utopia, where the photographer and the film crew and possibly the parents, (if they were there – and if they weren’t then they should be beaten about the head for that as well) were all fully clothed, then we cannot help but attach meaning to the fact that the child isn’t.
Besides that, the doco on the telly showed both kids were posed in a sexual context if not in actual sexual poses. In the society in which we actually live it is illegal for kids under the age of 16 to have sex. You can argue that the law is ridiculous since they are clearly having sex left right and centre but that doesn’t alter the fact that our society does not condone it.
If Bill Henson wants to investigate the point at which we stop being children and become adults and he wants to question the rules of a society which doesn’t condone nudity and underage sex then all well and good but he should not be allowed to do so at the expense of a child who cannot possibly be mature enough to decide that she wants to explore these thing in public herself.

But what is art and what is crap? Depends where it’s showcased and if there’s a lengthy explanation next to it. I saw an installation once where there were just used tea cups on a table. I think I paid to see it and was with some arty friends who thought it was fantastic and had many big words to explain why it was so arty. I’m sure you could write something about the bagel, vagina dentata minus the teeth, needing to confront the male gaze even when one has moved onto dentures stage of life….with the one with the checks over her you could spin something about how women only have one last chance these days in life, one last round..(insert some feminist theory)..we are objectified, used a few times, spun around on the grand prix circuit of life and then left panty-less? hmm I’m not too good at this. But I know people who are, who use big words to describe this sort of installation. hmmm ok i just read the comments everyone has moved on from this and is now talking about child porn.
