Physical location inside a walled diplomatic garden shielded nudity from French law

Evidence

The Paris performance had been staged in a 400-seat theater in the American Center, sedately located in a walled garden on Boulevard Raspail in Montparnasse, and thus largely if not totally immune to French censorship. (Nude bodies were allowed only if motionless.) — J. Hoberman, Everything Is Now, 594

Categorization

• XREF: Directly supports the reader’s core thesis — illegality and jurisdiction loopholes as enabling conditions for avant-garde art; the American Center’s extraterritorial status is exactly the kind of material condition they’re cataloging.
• QUESTION: How many other avant-garde works depended on diplomatic extraterritoriality or legal loopholes like this? A taxonomy of ‘legal shelter’ enabling transgressive art would be worth building.
• ADDENDUM: Relevant to the ‘Complaints About Immodesty’ article — nudity regulation here is literally a matter of whose law applies, an institutional-mechanics angle that article touches on.
