This is the trailer for 'The Art Star and the Sudanese Twins'. It traces 38 year ld conceptual/performace artist Vanessa Beecroft adopting children from war-torn Africa. The trailer's conflict trifecta: 1.The project's iconic photograph featuring white goddess Venessa sustaining the life of the infantile blacks. Note the loving handling by photographer as he carries one baby away. 2.Adding Christian religious characters for a moral compass? This is the way. I always love a wise old white man. 3.These people. Vanessa is putting herself on display. Her art's conflict is allowed because she is concious of a reality it reveals. This documentary looks to feature the artist as exhibition. Her previous work can longer be looked at through compassionate intellectualism. It's merely symptomatic of Western coffe-table ambivalence . Anyone (except Canadians) interested can now buy the dvd for $50 + $10 shipping and handling. Or, about 3.15% GDP per capita in Sudan.
