Artist and self realised lifestylist. The opening last night in Port Melbourne at MARS Gallery was cool, fat and erotic. Debra Conway and Willy sang 30 minutes and Hazel mingled with a large crowd that were ‘cool’ about her PORNO exhibition.. whether they were confronted or not… remains to be seen.. I certainly heard a few heated discussions between husbands and their wives, bf’s and their gf’s…. I was dam impressed.

Hazel Dooney is showing in Melbourne at the Mars gallery with a photography exhibition called PORNO.

I highly recommend this exhibition, Hazel breaks the boundry of intimacy by revealing her self and exposing herself to the world in a sensual way. Wicked.

IN January 2005, the Art Gallery of NSW opened a large survey exhibition of photographs by Bill Henson, one of Australia’s most internationally renowned artists. It included themes present in his work since the 1970s: landscapes, objects, people young and old, The show attracted 65,000 over three months in Sydney: a remarkable number for a photography exhibition. It later travelled to the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, where a further 50,000 saw Henson’s work.

Bill Henson – art or pornography in public

A NAKED lass with budding breasts looks down at the caps lock key on my computer. Her face seems a bit sweaty but the light is dim, as a beam transfixes her from behind and a soft glow fills out her middle with tender reflections and shadows. This tentative juvenile beauty — looking lost and vulnerable — arrived in an email advertising Bill Henson’s exhibition in Sydney, the one that was closed down by the police on Thursday evening.

Bill Henson – art or pornography in public

POLICE are trying to track down a girl, 13, who was photographed naked as part of a Bill Henson exhibition that has been withdrawn from a Sydney gallery Interstate authorities will play a role in determining what charges are laid over images of the girl seized by police from a Sydney art gallery. Rose Bay Local Area Commander Allan Sicard says the 13-year-old girl featured in the studio-produced large prints, photographed by renowned Melbourne-born artist Bill Henson, did not live in NSW.

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.

Gallery manager Amanda Rowell said the reaction action was blown out of proportion.
“It’s (the reaction) never been like this before.
“This is no different to any other exhibition he’s had and he’s had many exhibitions here.
“He’s a master, there’s no one else in the world like him. They’re amazing technically and aesthetically.
“He works with the same models for a number of years. Some now in their 30s are coming to the opening.”

Production, dissemination or possession of child pornography

Members of Sydney’s art community have come out in support of controversial photographer Bill Henson.

Henson has been quizzed by police after his exhibition featuring shots of naked teenagers was closed down last night.

The New South Wales Community Services Minister, Kevin Greene, says his department or the police may take legal action.

“If there are any suggestions that these photographs were taken in New South Wales, we’ll then look to see what our options are,” he said.

But John McDonald, art critic for the Sydney Morning Herald, says there is nothing sexual about the photos.

Some call these images erotic. I prefer to call them sensual, happy and easy going images Yes they are erotica, images, and yes they can be downloaded.

Why would you bother? Well, with the saturation of sexual imagery online, anyone can get a peek into erotica, soft or hard porn, really, we all know it. You can see and hear anything you want. The limit is your imagination, and your ability to search for what you want successfully.

Erotica and sensual imagery: it is an everlasting moment. I promote my images so you can download them, take them to your print shop, (theres one in every town these days) get them to print it on some quality paper, and then frame it for you. Then guess what? You have special framed print, as a gift to yourself or a friend, for ever.

Sensual images, promote health and well being. Believe it or not. It awakens your spirit, it challenges your worth and it takes away your delusion about sexuality. If you agree, then go ahead, if you dont, then stand in front of this image for 20 minutes, then decide how you feel. I can tell you that your perception on reality, your sexuality and erotic reality, will change. Try it.

Only a handful of 20th-century artists — Pablo Picasso is an obvious one — have managed to change the direction of art and the way in which art is viewed, as Andy Warhol has done. Even fewer have had such impact on both the art world and the general public as Warhol. Perhaps the main reason for his enormous recognition and popularity was in his ability to create a bridge between cultures . . . in allowing the fine art world to converge with that of popular culture. He became the ambassador, the spokesperson — the icon, in fact — for popular art culture. Mr Pop Art himself. Australia’s first major Andy Warhol retrospective will open at the Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane, on December 8, bringing together more than 300 works of the one of the most influential of artists. (excerpt from Marina Saint Martin)

The Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane will be exhibiting the work of Andy Warhol from December 8

Miami Honors ‘Grandmother’ of Erotic Art - World Erotic Art Museum Celebrates First Anniversary

One of the world’s most unique art collectors, 71 year old Naomi Wilzig will be presented with the Key to the City of Miami Beach to mark the one year anniversary of her World Erotic Art Museum (http://www.weam.com). The tribute, in recognition of her help in “enhancing the cultural stature of Miami Beach,” will be presented to her by Tourism Director, Michael Aller, on Wednesday, October 18th.

“I am honored and proud. This past year has been a revelation to me. I have welcomed a wide spectrum of visitors of all ages, and most personally thank me for opening their eyes to this hidden genre of art — which they never realized existed,” says “Miss Naomi.”

The anniversary ceremony also marks the unveiling of thirty new pieces consisting of Asian and European acquisitions to be added to the extensive collection, housed at 1205 Washington Avenue, in Miami Beach. “The Museum is a validation that I have done something important for the community. Collecting erotic art has inspired and enhanced my life as an older person. I am convinced my passion for sexual liberation and tolerance will benefit humanity,” says Wilzig. It was Wilzig’s son, recording artist Sir Ivan, who first sparked her interest in erotica: “Fifteen years ago, I asked my mother, while antique shopping, to do me a favor and buy me a piece of erotic art for my new apartment. Instead she wound up doing the world a favor by purchasing 4,000 pieces of erotica and opening the museum,” said Sir Ivan.

Her Museum collection traces the evolution of erotica from biblical times to the contemporary world as illustrated by such memorable sculptures as the male prop made famous in Stanley Kubrick’s controversial 1971 film, A Clockwork Orange. An avid collector of erotica, Naomi Wilzig has published five books about her collection, and lectures on erotic art to college students of Human Sexuality. The World Erotic Art Museum is open daily, from 11 A.M. to Midnight. On Wednesday, October 18, from 11 A.M. until 5 P.M., the price of US$15 will admit two for the price of one.
