"This publication was developed following a controversial exhibit that appeared at the Walter Phillips Gallery in 1992. In Much Sense: Erotics and Life, the artists explored ideas about sexuality, expressing frank viewpoints on topics such as body image and gay and lesbian sexuality. In the months following the opening, politicians, the media, and coalitions of arts organizations engaged in a rancorous debate, alternately battering and boosting The Banff Centre and its support of the exhibition. Arousing Sensation supports freedom of expression for both sides of the controversy, with full text media clippings chronicling a public debate about freedom of expression, funding for the arts, censorship, sexuality, political responsibility, and journalistic integrity. The book offers a unique case study of the role the media plays in public debates. " (*lower shipping avail to Cdn & overseas addresses, osl) ; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
