Child Porn Update

It turns out that the "artwork" seized by Gateshead fuzz at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art is a photo by Nan Goldin, who's into the "snapshot aesthetic" in a big way (you can tell she's got a diploma). The seized snap is from Thanksgiving, a "micro-retrospective installation of photographs documenting the artist’s life from 1973 to 1999". Sounds like the same one White Cube showed in London in 2000 without a twitter of protest. Thanksgiving is on loan from the Sir Elton John Photography Collection. According to BBC News (CLICK) the suspect snap is called Klara and Edda belly-dancing and shows two naked young girls. According to The Daily Telegraph (CLICK) it shows a girl with her legs wide open. Sorry, Telegraph, I might have given you a bum steer there. That image, by Kendell Geers, was my best guess as to the alleged child porn (CLICK).
