- The exhibition was not to be about showing the hacked photos, but about the need to cross the privacy limit of the other person - says American artist XVala, who wanted to present the naked naked selfie Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Kirsten Dunst and others, recently stolen from iCloud..This is how the idea of the exhibition explains after the Galeria decided to cancel it.
Gallery of Cory Allen Contemporary Art in ST.St. Petersburg in Florida planned the exhibition "No Delete" from October 30.The American artist with the nickname Xval was to show naked photos of the stars, which a week ago he stole from the iCloud platform and published on the web.
Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Kirsten Dunst, Amber Heard and other stars, were to hang on the walls of the gallery in the form of natural sizes..And they were not planned in any way.In addition, the exhibition was to be expanded to include other photos of celebrities that the artist found in the last 7 years via Google search engine.These are photographs taken by paparazzi or stolen by hackers.
Protests of fans of naked actresses
The idea aroused such strong emotions that protest letters from actress fans began to flow into Cory Allen Contemporary Art.
- people identifying with Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton are much more than we expected.It is interesting that no one commented on the problem of theft of photos, violation of privacy, or making women sexual objects, but everyone signed a petition regarding the ban on showing them - said the gallery owner, Cory Allen.
He admitted that such an intense reaction of people convinced him to cancel the controversial exhibition, though, only a few days ago he said something different.He was not even afraid of the legal actions announced by the spokesman Jennifer Lawrence: that everyone who would share stolen photos would be prosecuted by the FBI due to gross violation of privacy.
- I think that the artist is more worried about challenging the integrity of art than about himself - he justified.
Now Allen and XVala have changed their minds, although - as they assure - they do not understand people's indignation.- The exhibition was not to be about showing the hacked photos as works of art, which was described in the media as displaying stolen property, but about the lack of self -control in the current culture and why we need to cross the privacy limit of the other person - he explained in an interview with "E! Entertainment".
Instead of the naked selfie of the stars, the artist's naked photos
This is not the first time the artist caused a scandal.In 2007, he used a photo shaved Britney Spears, and four years later as part of the "Fear Google" project he showed photographs of naked Scarlett Johansson in Los Angeles, who leaked to the network.The latter was also part of the sculptures made of garbage from the estate of famous people, M.in.Steve Jobs, Marek Zuckerberg and Kim Kardashian.In 2012, he made garbage castings from Justin Bieber's basket.
- We share our secrets with technology.When we do this, our privacy becomes available to others - he explained then.
Now he has been protested and in Cory Allen Contemporary Art instead of a naked selfie Lawrence and Upton will present printed naked photos of natural size ... myself.
