Shock art
Shock art is contemporary art that incorporates disturbing imagery, sound or scents to create a shocking experience. It is a way to disturb "smug, complacent and hypocritical" people.〔R. Rawdon Wilson (2002) (''The hydra's tale: imagining disgust'' ) p.27〕 While the art form's proponents argue that it is "imbedded with social commentary" and critics dismiss it as "cultural pollution", it is an increasingly marketable art, described by one art critic in 2001 as "the safest kind of art that an artist can go into the business of making today".〔Silberman, Vanessa. (March 2001) (Inside shock art ). ''Art Business News'' Accessed October 31, 2007.〕〔Sawhill, Ray. (October 12, 2000). (Art for politics' sake ). Salon. Accessed October 31, 2007.〕 But while shock art may attract curators and make headlines, ''Reason'' magazine's 2007 review of ''The Art Newspaper'' suggested that traditional art shows continue to have more popular appeal.〔Miller, Cheryl. (January 2007) (Crying censorship ). ''Reason'' Accessed October 31, 2007.〕
==History==
While the movement has become increasingly mainstream, the roots of shock art run deep into art history; Royal Academy curator Norman Rosenthal noted in the catalog for the "shock art" exhibit ''Sensation'' in 1997 that artists have always been in the business of conquering "territory that hitherto has been taboo".〔 In China, which experienced an active "shock art" movement following the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989,〔Pearlman, Ellen. (Zhang Huan altered states ). ''The Brooklyn Rail''. Accessed October 31, 2007.〕 encroachment on the taboo has led the Ministry of Culture to attempt a crackdown on the artform,〔(Baby-eating art show sparks upset ). BBC. (January 3, 2003). Accessed October 31, 2007.〕 banning the use of corpses or body parts in art.
In 1998, John Windsor in ''The Independent'' said that the work of the Young British Artists seemed tame compared with that of the "shock art" of the 1970s, including "kinky outrages" at the Nicholas Treadwell Gallery, amongst which were a "hanging, anatomically detailed leather straitjacket, complete with genitals", titled ''Pink Crucifixion'', by Mandy Havers.〔Windsor, John. ("Art 98: Collecting—Let the love affair begin" ), ''The Independent'', 17 January 1998. Retrieved 14 August 2010.〕
In the United States in 2008, a court case went to trial to determine whether the fetish films of Ira Isaacs constitute shock art, as the director claims, or unlawful obscenity.〔 〕
