The great art debateDavid Marr has decided to explore the controversy surrounding Bill Henson’s photographs in great detail.Published 8 October, 2008 
David Marr has decided to explore the controversy surrounding Bill Henson’s photographs in great detail. The Henson Case is released by Text in October and is sure to reawaken the art/porn debate. Marr includes detailed interviews with Henson himself, giving him a chance to express the motivations of his work. It will also be the first detailed account of the events surrounding the removal of pictures from Henson’s exhibition, and the investigation of the artist for child pornography. The important and complex debate tells us about who we are culturally as a nation, what is acceptable for broad public viewing, questions of consent, censorship, and if lines can or should be drawn. Sure to be an interesting and important book.
