Abstract
The “Adding Insult to Imagery? Artistic Responses to Censorship and Mass-Media” exhibition opened on January 16, 2006, in Kipp Gallery on the Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) campus. Eleven gallery-based works, 9 videos, and 10 web-based artworks comprised the show; each dealt with the relationship between censorship and mass mediated images. Some images were censored in previous instances: Mail-A-Virus (2005) by xtine, was removed from a new media exhibition sponsored by Eyebeam titled “Contagious Media” (Hansen, 2005). Missing Stereotypes (2005), by Bill Fisher and Richard Lou, was removed from the Quinlan Arts Center (Gainesville, Florida) for dealing with the (apparently) taboo topic of ‘runaway bride’ Jennifer Wilbanks, and the Latino identity of her fictitious kidnapper.
