DRAMATIC, CHALLENGING, HUMANE. Red Light is a major
new exhibition organised by the Australian Centre
for Photography surveying imagery of prostitution
across the 20th century and into the 21st. The
exhibition features materworks such as Bellocq's
Storyville Portraits, Brassaï's Secret Paris
of the 1930s and Larry Clark's images of hustlers
in 1970s New York City. Contemporary artists
include Tracey Moffatt, Max Pam, Dayanita Singh
from India and Atta Kim from Korea, and the show
premieres new work by Megan Spencer and Lee-Anne
Richards. Presented in an immersive, theatrical
environment, Red Light takes a humanising rather
than sensationalist approach to its subject across
nine decades and four continents.
The ACP gratefully acknowledges the generous loan
of works by Bellocq, Brassaï, Cartier-Bresson,
Clark and Michaelis from the Photography Collection
of the National Gallery of Australia. Without the
support of the NGA, this exhibition would not have
been possible.
