In his latest exhibition, New Zealand artist Ronnie van Hout considers the point where art crosses a line—and society turns against it.
In 1971, successful American toy company Aurora and acclaimed film director Stanley Kubrick both released products into the world that generated strong negative reactions. A firestorm of controversy saw Aurora close its doors, and Kubrick retreat from public life, withdrawing his film from view.
Aurora’s toys and Kubrick’s film crossed an invisible boundary–becoming a threat to the normal social and family structures, threatening to throw them into chaos. Society retaliated, pushing these products back, down to the dark pool, to wait for the day they could return.
