Jailbait, porno-pop & Abu Ghraib
A featured art project at the Sydney Biennale, Action Half Life, depicts “mock heroic groupings of fresh, young models”, In Abu Ghraib, detainees were ordered to “do jumping jacks and sing The Star-Spangled Banner in the nude …. a father and his grown son were stripped, then forced to stand and stare at each other”, Are artists the best futurists?
