Genitals are weird looking. While can see our own, most of us don’t know much about that others have between their legs.

Minneapolis was covered in snow, and while everyone else was bundled up in their winter coats, scarves and mittens, there sat Venus without a shirt on. A kindly soul took pity on her and made her one out of spray paint. The billboard was advertizing Venus Rising from the Sea, part of the Minneapolis Institute ...
Fucking French Vogue and it’s juvenile need for attention. The magazine is back with another oh-so-shocking photo spread. We know it’s art because it is upsetting our delicate bourgeois sensibilities. No, it’s not pregnant women drinking and smoking this time. And they managed to avoid putting anyone in blackface.

Art often brings our attention to things that we try to push from our minds. Such is the case with Brigitte Coreman’s Life Clock. The clock is set according to a woman’s age and first menstruation.

They gathered together at 10:30 in Peel Park to get naked. The installation, entitled Everyday People, was organised by Spencer Tunick who is famous for his work with nudity. “I think being naked creates a new meaning for the background. It creates a relationship between the concrete world and the real world,” Tunick told the ...
You’d have to feel it to believe it. A new book designed as pornography for the blind has hit the shelves. Tactile Minds in on sale for over $200 and features three dimensional naked men and women. Sounds great, but book looks about as sexy as a paper-mâché Hallowe’en mask made in art class. If ...
Over 5,200 people gathered at the Sydney Opera House to take part in a naked art installation examining “the vulnerability of life in a rough city landscape.”
Laptop bags; conspiracy of the patriarchal overlords. Oh yes. I am a woman with hands. The average-sized hands of...
