The exhibit by leading Australian photographer Bill Henson was suspended by police just ahead of its scheduled opening Thursday night following public outrage.

He would not specify who was likely to be charged. Today in Asia – Pacific… Some artists and gallery patrons viewed the shutdown as censorship. “I think the sexualization of children is an extremely important (issue)” said art market analyst Michael Reid. “The question is: 'Was there consent?' which I can't answer and 'Has the image been sexualized?' In my opinion it wasn't. ” Henson's work is on display in all of Australia's major art galleries and also forms part of collections in New York's Guggenheim Museum the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris and other venues. ____ On the Net: Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery:.

New York Times – May 23, 2008
One involves selecting a familiar form or object and recreating it on a giant scale in an unexpected material with its own charged significance. In his fourth New York gallery show the Chinese artist Zhang Huan who once specialized in grueling sensational works of performance art follows this recipe closely with predictably jaw-dropping results. The centerpiece of his two- gallery exhibition is “Giant No. 3” a towering sculpture of a pregnant beggar slouched on the ground with a small child clinging to one shoulder at PaceWildenstein’s 25th Street space. She seems wrapped in rags but is really covered with whole efficiently stapled cowhides complete with dangling hooves and tails. They intimate maternity and luxury (and a lot of slaughtered animals) and also convert the well-known Surrealist precedent of the fur-lined teacup (here turned inside out) to an architectural scale… Huan’s Memory Door series displayed next to the giant reflect a similar one-plus-one-equals-two-and-a-smidge approach. In these large wall pieces antique Chinese doors have been covered with blown-up photographs of modern China. Highly skilled artisans have then carved parts of the image into exquisitely detailed reliefs in the wood. The abrupt shifts between two and three dimensions; hazy photograph and crisp carving; mechanical and handmade; Mao’s China and older: all this is intellectually entertaining vaguely exotic but ultimately generic and mannered. In PaceWildenstein’s 22nd Street space giantism Photo Realism and unusual materials combine in “Canal Building. ” Here a Chinese photograph of scores of laborers digging a canal has been enlarged to a 19-foot-by-59-foot panorama rendered in incense ash sprinkled on a slab of solid blocks of the ash six feet thick. Seeing the image requires climbing a tall flight of stairs to a large viewing platform.

Displayed in the Vida Ellison Gallery adjacent to the exhibit will be more pieces of dance memorabilia: programs photographs books and other treasures culled from the collection of the Carson-Brierly Dance Library. The “Dance Treasures” display provides views of numerous legends of the art form from Isadora Duncan and Ruth St. Denis to Gregory Hines and Mikhail Baryshnikov. Many of the more famous photos are etched in the minds of dance lovers everywhere: Pearl Primus and Edward Villella each in mid-leap; Martha Graham wrapped in black as she dances Lamentations; Agnes de Mille as the rambunctious tomboy of Rodeo; George Balanchine at work in the studio; Twyla Tharp doing her classic deadpan slouch.
