(Sao Paulo, Brazil) An art exhibit in a small Brazilian town showing Barbie in intimate poses with another female has draw the ire of toy make Mattel. The company says it artist Karin Schwarz doesn't remove the exhibit it will go to court, according to a Sao Paulo newspaper.
Schwarz, though, isn't backing down.
"Barbie is exploited by Mattel. She wears a bikini, she shows off her belly, has big breasts, and even has a boyfriend," she told the Jornal de Sao Paulo newspaper.
Her exhibit, called 'Amazing Girls', is on display at a bar in the town of Curitiba.
A Brazilian spokesperson for Mattel said that "Barbie is a very proper lady and she is not happy about being portrayed as something that she isn't."
But Barbie is no friend of conservative Christians either.
Earlier this year Concerned Women for America accused the doll, who is now 46, of promoting gender confusion among children. (story) According to the group the Barbie Web site doll asks children their sex, providing three choices "girl", "boy", "I don't know".
Batman owner DC Comics ordered a New York gallery last year to remove an exhibit showed the superhero embracing and kissing sidekick Robin. (story)
The works of artist Mark Chamberlain had been on display at the Kathleen Cullen Fine Arts Gallery on West 26th Street. DC ordered the company to turn over all renderings in its possession.
My opinion: When you buy a Barbie doll, you are not engaging in a licensing agreement, you are not paying for the right to play with the doll in a pre-defined, limited manner (but when you buy a DVD this *is* exactly what you are actually doing). A Barbie Doll is not a piece of media, historically, socially or culturally. Mattel obviously has other ideas about its IP. The idea that a doll could be declared as a piece of licensed media is a very interesting, and tantalizing prospect, expect to see it happening more and more in the future. That FBI warning appearing on the boxes on toy store shelves?
