I went down to Bloomington, Indiana a couple of days ago for the opening of the
Kinsey Institute Juried Art show (see below post), and I just wanted to put up images of some of my favorite pieces from the show. The Kinsey Institute has a pretty remarkable permanent collection, over 100,000 pieces, and regularly mounts exhibitions from the collection. Up now is a fascinating exhibition titled "
Eros in Asia: Erotic Art from Iran to Japan" featuring work from the 16th-19th centuries. Walking through the halls of the Kinsey I saw some really incredible work from artists such as
Hans Bellmer and
Judy Dater.
You can hear an interview with Jennifer Cahn, the show's juror,
here. A few shots from the show and pictures of some of my favorite pieces:
my good friend Niki Grangruth's piece Burden from her series The New Madonnas
Russel Semerau, The Castle, 2008 (it moved!)
Dimitre Andonov's hilarious and kind of sad Congratulations and Soccer from his Erection series
Natalie Theis, Knock Knock, 2005
Tomorrow morning I'm headed for Review Santa Fe, where I'll have a chance to show my work to Charlotte Cotton (LACMA), Katherine Ware (NM Museum of Fine Arts), Laura Addison (also NMMFA), Kate Bussard (Art Institute of Chicago), Andy Adams (Flak Photo), Michael Mazzeo, David Bram, Darren Ching (of KlompChing gallery) and Jon Feinstein (Humble Art Foundation).
