On Monday, September 16th, Dennis Barrie, current
director of the Contemporary Arts Center (CAC)
of Cincinnati, will speak in the Russell House Ballroom
on the First Amendment and the freedom of
expression.
Barrie is most noted for his involvement with a
controversial exhibition of photographs by John Mapplethorpe
at his museum. The photographs were a
Hpart of a respective
collection entitled
"The Perfect Moment"
that toured
the United States
in 1990. The collection
consisted
of 175 photographs
by Mapplethorpe,

which authorities
in Cincinnati
deemed to be obscene
for their depiction
of homoerolic
acts and

April 7, 1990, uniformed officers moved those citizens
interested in viewing the exhibition out of the
museum, while the Cincinnati vice squad collected
evidence by videotaping and photographing the pictures.

Barrie and the CAC on charges of "pandering obscenB.O.A
