I got word today, on Twitter, that the printers hired to do the program guide for the American Repertory Theater's production of Cabaret with Amanda Palmer had refused to print the book because of one of my photographs, which they found objectionable.

It could go many ways. In IN there is a law that women can't show nipples. If there is nipple it is porn in their book. so there is strike one.

strike 2. the nazi gear. I recognize that it is part of the play and if they don't get that then they are just ignorant. But that could be strike 2

strike 3 was the whole genderfuck thing. underarm hair, woman's curves, men's clothes. in some places it fries the brain circuits. I don't think that is the issue, but it was brought up and therefore it MIGHT be an issue.

In reality. I would probably have taken my business elsewhere. But it might be a time issue. But they knew it when they saw it and had time to refuse adn give them time to take the business elsewhere. Who knows. but really.. for folks who are in teh artworld these are non-issues. It happens frequently. you just find another printer.
