Unrelenting attacks on creative freedom


"The new censorship typifed by the Paul Yore child pornography accusation is a symptom of the lack of respect for cultural freedom and creative expression, also felt by musicians.

Yore's works, including an installation Everything’s Fucked featuring a young Justin Bieber directly above a urinating dildo, were seized by Police at Linden Contemporary Arts Centre last week following a complaint that they constituted child pornography.

Child pornography as defined the Crimes Act involves a process of documentation involving the sexual exploitation of minors Yore's work a collage of found objects and the interpretation of the work, whether pornographic or not, is by the viewer."
