In adversity to the tightly controlled studio system generated publicity of Hollywood’s golden era, nothing today is off-limits. There is hardly any distinction between public and private - and the more private, stark, and embarrassingly real, the better. In the 1940’s and 50’s, readers of Confidential and other such scandal sheets collectively gasped a joyfully naughty, voyeuristic breath and eagerly wrung their hands at the novel site of police-file mug shots of Robert Mitchum and Frank Sinatra. The publication of Kenneth Anger’s Hollywood Babylon (1958) furthered the airing of Hollywood’s dirty laundry into a cultish pastime and created an outlet for a scandal-loving subculture. Today, especially given the access-all-areas manner of internet-disseminated information, such images are commonplace.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpQD_3vIjQNvzR3bFPXnN9wvvfGoeiZWJvgQHBEh0yV_qY7Z6ANODUa4Dwogca7TH3AM4c7adrRs7cpoNJNPM-O2o7VA65osKGXfFVb75cdz92GNt1Z4H8s3q3MNJjlj8sZptqwxP7yx2u/s1600-h/melgibson.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121305800344045730" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpQD_3vIjQNvzR3bFPXnN9wvvfGoeiZWJvgQHBEh0yV_qY7Z6ANODUa4Dwogca7TH3AM4c7adrRs7cpoNJNPM-O2o7VA65osKGXfFVb75cdz92GNt1Z4H8s3q3MNJjlj8sZptqwxP7yx2u/s400/melgibson.jpeg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 530px; height: 742px;" /></a><br /><i>Above: Mel Gibson</i><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ExWybZCgCj9ckvLpa1bcEpSR5we01ocQHUmLTHafRvVqIu06YCthIffgvPr64Shq42xeGkfJq2fFkCmLRxlsw-3RRG5rLILhdjKYTtF5bTB2YBxL9loc00Sf4CoCrWsoyqNwSUMhKS6q/s1600-h/robertdowneyjr.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121306444589140146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ExWybZCgCj9ckvLpa1bcEpSR5we01ocQHUmLTHafRvVqIu06YCthIffgvPr64Shq42xeGkfJq2fFkCmLRxlsw-3RRG5rLILhdjKYTtF5bTB2YBxL9loc00Sf4CoCrWsoyqNwSUMhKS6q/s400/robertdowneyjr.jpeg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 529px; height: 684px;" /></a><br /><i>above: Robert Downey Jr., 2005<br /></i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxS_cpXyZIN9WaiLCfSimTL4Roht8jQt-1DksVefJCF1IpZuQ0zi9jWBo8IfN7CMGe3YDgWaIWvGu3rSyC1VM1ArOg8zZINzzcUE9QKS1RFzWsepLsCsBf7gm7Mokl7x52TT29K4NQUcHS/s1600-h/2740.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121306908445608130" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxS_cpXyZIN9WaiLCfSimTL4Roht8jQt-1DksVefJCF1IpZuQ0zi9jWBo8IfN7CMGe3YDgWaIWvGu3rSyC1VM1ArOg8zZINzzcUE9QKS1RFzWsepLsCsBf7gm7Mokl7x52TT29K4NQUcHS/s400/2740.jpeg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 525px; height: 409px;" /></a><br /><i>above: Lizzie Grubman, 2005</i><br /><br />In A Rogue’s Gallery, <span class="caps">Maria E. Piñeres</span> captures an eerily doll-like Michael Jackson and a seemingly helpless Lizzie Grubman among many others. All are depicted in the police station after the initial brush with the law, yet before the indignant publicist denials and the ensuing round of post-release talk show appearances. In her new work, PIÑERES goes one step further from her previous series. Homespun grandmotherly needlework, already turned on its ear, is taken into the world of stars which have crashed and burned, darkly glowing through the atmosphere, onto the decidedly non-lunar surface of central booking.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjOEvquXvmjdIKRWC7mvSskWW_Z6aZ4IdpbvBSkmI_9xgqXlaEOZYOyXBUWf8qgvZgTBkER5fGZdhCn5xHEj1MhgS061ZpnA-Zlzhc6z56uWN1Vgp6mOC-matzE5vi3dJx07H9EFzy42Lu/s1600-h/sidvicous.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121308141101222130" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjOEvquXvmjdIKRWC7mvSskWW_Z6aZ4IdpbvBSkmI_9xgqXlaEOZYOyXBUWf8qgvZgTBkER5fGZdhCn5xHEj1MhgS061ZpnA-Zlzhc6z56uWN1Vgp6mOC-matzE5vi3dJx07H9EFzy42Lu/s400/sidvicous.jpeg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 530px; height: 882px;" /></a><br /><i>above: Sid Vicious</i>, 2005<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6JTEsQpVhl3SgZCGudEamAbVyYARJacpy9z7N6JhNWpsemEdmll6dVDWJdqiccAaRw47JCRRrA3gENvh6dngcTq9gQFhqgDJrf_yW1y4qrYGFrhkGfGyCl_s_rJjLbcvGw4GH1l1Y_cFx/s1600-h/Picture+1.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420016066269727250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6JTEsQpVhl3SgZCGudEamAbVyYARJacpy9z7N6JhNWpsemEdmll6dVDWJdqiccAaRw47JCRRrA3gENvh6dngcTq9gQFhqgDJrf_yW1y4qrYGFrhkGfGyCl_s_rJjLbcvGw4GH1l1Y_cFx/s400/Picture+1.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 528px; height: 389px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">above: Nick Nolte, 2005</span><br /><br />Both the dazed Nick Nolte and snarling Sid Vicious (shown above) are given true <span class="caps">VIP </span>treatment: vertical diptychs featuring kaleidoscopic serial imagery of their respective mug shots with hallucinogenic multicolored backgrounds—a conscious mirror image of the windmills of her iconic subjects’ addled minds.
