Hello, I am new here, and a lurker. Just wondering if anyone else knows about this incident: (From The Chronicle of Higher Education, March 1, 2002) "The photographer says it is a simple portrait of motherhood. But when administrators at DePauw University saw the photo, which depicts a baby's face between a woman's breasts, in a brochure for a faculty art show, it was more than they could bear. Although it was too late to withdraw the brochures, officials at the Methodist college in Indiana are now demanding to see every department's promotional materials before they are sent to the printer. The image, "Built to Suck" appears on posters and brochures advertising a faculty art show that began last month. The exhibition focused on the relationship between the human body and medicine. Campus officials acknowledge that the photo drew few outside complaints, and say that they object only to the brochure designers' circumvention of institutional approval. 'We're working hard to change our graphical identity,' says Neil B. Abraham, vice president for academic affairs. The photographer, Yara Ferreira Cluver, a part-time assistant professor of art, says the image was born of her desire to breastfeed her 2-year-old daughter, who has a medical condition that requires her to be nourished via a tube. Ms. Cluver believes the officials disapproved because of the drops of milk pictured on the breasts. She says the stricter approval process 'won't stifle art' but will stifle' access to the art.' Mr. Abraham insists that the administration doesn't intend to stunt creativity and isn't prudish. 'It's not about censorship," he says, 'It's about institutional ownership.' " There is a detail of the photo with the article. It looks as though the photo of the baby is inserted vertically between photos of the breasts. There are no nipples or drops of milk that I can see. It is only a detail, though, and not a very big one. Just thought you'd like to know! ~Virginia Bobro LLL Leader in Casco, Maine __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
