Short Description
The Arts & Society: How Far Should Art Go?
In May 2000, TNS hit the headlines again for having a naked man in an R(A) performance. In response, NAC's executive director, Mr Choo Thiam Siew, was quoted in the press as saying that he "did not find the performance objectionable". Yet the contention in the media has less to do with the naked body than the positioning of an R(A) show in an HDB precinct. It begs the question of whether violation of decency has any geographical relation.
