Private Parts Exhbit -1978 - "Private Parts" exhibit was an Electron Movers and
Les Wisner of RISD Photo Department Collaborative show in that featured a range
of art related to the theme of Private Parts. After news of the show reached the public,
Providence Police raided the gallery and confiscated much of the artwork. Police told
the group it was in violation of a new obscenity law, passed only days before. Electron
Movers videotaped the bust, sued the city of violation of their first amendment rights and
introduced the first video used in a court in RI. The judge in May 1978 ruled that the exhibit
should be protected as art and ordered that the city pay for the damage caused to the
confiscated work.
