(This is a silly blog-post - I apologize in advance - it's also not suitable for those under 16. I thought it was funny at the time, but I am very tired and jetlagged, forgive me.)
Shortly after airing Let's Paint TV this morning, John Kilduff (a.k.a.
Mr Let's Paint) and I were talking about this exhibition called
Narratives of The Perverse at Jancar Gallery which he had recommended I see.
The highlight of the show for me was a video of a woman (the artist) removing her tampon and rubbing it all over her face and body. She seemed to be enjoying herself:
She certainly took to heart Germaine Greer's advice that women should taste their own menstrual blood.
But anyway, there was also another video by Micol Hebron which is a close up of a vagina with pearls going in and out. John was saying that you don't get many videos of men masturbating. But then he said, actually there was that Vito Acconci piece where he masturbates under the floor of the gallery. 'Did he do that all day? How did he do that?', John asked, 'I mean that was before viagra'. Then I thought about the fact that
Seedbed had been re-performed at the Guggenheim by Marina Abramovic, and it tickled me to think of Acconci himself reenacting the work today, but this time with the help of some pharmaceuticals.
