Not Safe For Work (NSFW). Seriously. F*ck Art exhibit @ The Museum of Sex.
Today marks of the opening of the "F*ck Art" exhibit at the Museum of Sex, which has 20 street artists occupying the 3rd floor of the museum and giving it a make-over. Designed to push the boundaries between sexual imagery in public spaces, this event just might break them. If you want to see many more images, plus tons of info, hit the jump... but be warned, this is totally NSFW!!!
It comes as no surprise that AIKO is in this show, since her mixed media installations are known for their seductive female forms, but the 14-foot-long "Fuck Bike #001" by William Thomas Porter might get some gasps by passersby. If you don't believe me, watch this definitely NSFW video of it in action by Andrew H. Shirley HERE. And it's brilliant that Cassius Fouler's "We're F*cked" wall of vibrant and playful food fetish iconography leads straight to the Oral Fix Bar. Though it might've been more appropriate to place DICKCHICKEN's "Tribute to Keith" there (shown against a wallpaper made by the artist as well).
But what would a show of this sort be without the inclusion of LUSH, the self-proclaimed graffiti asshole. Photographs of LUSH's work tend to be accompanied by topless models… much like the above work-in-progress pics from the mural show. And, from what we're told, LUSH's area will have an interactive ice cream cart display.
A wall has been done-up by Droid, Gen 2 and Oze 108 of the 907 crew while the ever imaginative & strange El Celso has done a total of six acrylic-on-plexi pieces. The ultra-sensual Miss Van contributed two "Twinkles" paintings (detail of one shown) which flank "The Magic Box," a hand-crafted box that's illuminated & contains a new painting for the show. And Patch Whiskey created a sci-fi spun pin-up installation, complete with dolled up mannequins in their post-apocalyptic best.
RTTP, the duo of Nathan Vincent & Bryan Raughton, do a series of paste-up drawings and found item pieces to explore the entire "Men-Seeking-Men on Craigslist" phenomenon, while Tony Bones contributes a series of life-size wood cutouts and WOLFTITS shows off a hand-made rug. And — of course — there will be "The Future Tools Collection," a series of re-imagined sex toys by Wonderpuss Octopus. Also on display are blown-up classified ads by B-rad Izzy, the homosexual stencil art of Jeremy Novy, JMR's abstract "The Adventures of Han Solo," the one-day painting installation "Urban Affairs Extended" by MODE 2, and ROSTARR's 113-inch canvas piece "Nation of Millions."
"F*ck Art" is on display from February 8th until June 10th at the Museum of Sex, 233 Fifth Ave. (@ 27th Street), New York, NY 10016. http://museum.museumofsex.com/.
