  • DOROTHY BARENSCOTT “Sensationalising”
    EnterText 5.1 DOROTHY BARENSCOTT “Sensationalising” Mapplethorpe a Decade Later: What Dirty Pictures can show us about the “Culture Wars” today “I’m looking for the unexpected. I’m looking for things I’ve never seen before” - Robert Mapplethorpe “No Limits” - Network Slogan for Cable TV Channel Showtime In Spring 2000, the cable television channel Showtime premiered one of the most controversial television movies of the year. Titled Dirty Pictures, the made-for-TV film was billed as a docudrama centered around the Cincinnati Contemporary Art Center’s ill-fated Robert Mapplethorpe exhibition of 1990, The Perfect Moment, and the gallery director Dennis Barrie’s personal struggle to persevere through the subsequent obscenity trial that made headlines across North America at the time. The film, however, had been the subject of its own controversy. After ten years in production, several script changes, and a move from HBO to a lesser known cable network, Dirty Pictures went through a series of legal battles after the MPAA American ratings board initially issued the finished film an NC-17 rating because of its depiction of several of the most explicit Mapplethorpe photographs.1 Not only did this ruling potentially restrict Showtime’s ability to air the final work, but it also put the film squarely in the same category as soft-core pornography. An appeal, however, succeeded Dorothy Barenscott: “Sensationalising” Mapplethorpe 59 EnterText 5.1 in having the film assigned a more-acceptable R rating. And in the same week that Dirty Pictures finally premiered, the Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision to strike down a law barring sexually-explicit programming on cable television outside the hours of ten p.m.
