A catalog of Norwegian artist Bjarne Melgaard's 2008 exhibit at Guido W. Baudach gallery. "In the exhibition A Kidwhore in Manhattan – A Novel Melgaard presents an imposing installation consisting of paintings, drawings, photographs, videos, neon poems as well as furniture design classics. At the same time he tells a fragmented story of a young male prostitute whose role he himself at times even seems to adopt. Chaos, violence and excess, injuries and dependencies as well as emotional ambiguity emerge here as constantly recurring motifs at different stages of the novel."
