Paris vs. Larry Clark

Teens forbidden to look at myself

Paris City Hall has banned anyone under 18 to attend an exhibition of American photographer and filmmaker Larry Clark on the most controversial topics in the life of youth - sex, drugs and violence. From a legal perspective the decision of city authorities are absolutely justified, but the artist himself and his supporters wonder: it turns out that the Museum of Modern Art Young people have no right to look at something with which they regularly encounter in their daily lives.

The general public, Larry Clark is known primarily as a director scandalous film "Kids" (Kids), released in theaters in 1995. In the late 90's video for "Baby" under the desk passed each other the most advanced (including Russia), high school students. Heroes movie - New York teenagers - actively using alcohol and drugs, and then engaged in indiscriminate unprotected sex. As a consequence, suffer from a "plague of the twentieth century" - acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

As a photographer Clark became famous even before the release in 1971, a series of photographs, "Tulsa" (Tulsa). In photos youth from Tulsa, Okla. (Larry's hometown), having sex, using drugs and playing with guns. The pictures were taken by Clark from 1963 to 1971, and the photographer emphasizes the fact that he made these pictures are not from the standpoint of an observer, but as one of the actors. At age 16, Clark began taking amphetamines together with their peers. "Once ukolovshis, pull out the needle is already impossible," - wrote to Clark in a brief foreword to the book.

That picture from the series "Tulsa" form the basis of the exposition, which opened on 8 October at the Paris Museum of Modern Art. In addition, there includes works from the collection "Teenage Lust" (Teenage Lust), "Perfect Childhood" (The Perfect Childhood) and "pankPikasso" (punkPicasso). Their content is generally couched in characteristic style of Clark's not-quite-socialist realism.

Larry Clark exhibition opened in Paris on October 8. However, before opening it sparked heated debate in the society, after the authorities decided that the organizers could be accused of promoting pornography and pedophilia. To avoid the possible unpleasant consequences, the municipality of Paris strongly recommended Museum of Modern Art set an age limit on entry. Given that this measure for the Paris Musee d'art moderne is almost unprecedented.

In protest against zashorivaniya youth known for its liberal views of the newspaper "Liberation" came on the eve of the opening of the exhibition with the band topical editorial. The first page is placed a large photo of the authorship of Larry Clark, in which two young men engaged in petting. Or something like that - clearly shows that she squeezes in a fist penis partner.

Not rusted, and for himself Clark - in an interview with French media, he bowed in all keys mayors: "The ban - Attack of the older generation of youth. They seem to tell teens: 'Go to your room and see all this garbage on the internet. We do not want you to come to the museum and looking at works of art dedicated to you and what is happening around you,''.

As one of his main arguments of opponents of the ban (which he joined a number of artists and human rights) lead that same work of Larry Clark has repeatedly demonstrated in Europe. Director of the Museum of Modern Art Ehrgott, Fabrice (Fabrice Hergott) explained the current prohibition on "change of epoch". According to him, in the minds of the people and the law, much has changed since 1992, when Larry Clark freely exhibited in the French capital. While on the show, according to eyewitnesses, were represented by no less bold photographs than the present one. "And we have not had any problems," - says who worked there Brar Joel (Joel Brard).

However, the problems were the organizers of the exhibition later in Bordeaux in 2000. Trials for the exhibition "presumed to be innocent" (Presumes innocents) lasted almost ten years. Organizers were accused of distributing images of minors, wearing a pornographic nature. Indeed, since 1992 France had taken a large number of new laws to protect children who have toughened penalties for potential manifestations of pedophilia.

Christophe Girard (Christophe Girard), in charge at the City Hall of Paris cultural issues, said the age limit be correct. "This is the best solution in this situation because it conflicted exhibition is obvious," - said Girard. This was confirmed by the Mayor of Paris Bertrand Delanoe (Bertrand Delanoe). Commenting on his own decision, he said that he acted primarily in the interests of the Museum of Modern Art and the exhibition organizers. According to Delanoe, the publication of photos of Clark, without any restrictions could result in administrative action against the museum and prosecute the organizers. "Most likely, this exhibition would have closed for the dissemination of materials that could harm minors" - said the mayor.

In addition, the authorities insist that the most provocative photos of Clark, presented in Paris now, not previously exhibited at all. Delanoe said that even the New York museum, which owns a series of "Teenage Lust," never exhibited it in public as a whole. "Each of us can have their own ideas of views on human sexuality, but Paris is not going in this respect, rise above the law", - concluded the mayor.
