Gallery 1313 is pleased to present the SEX SHOW a group curated exhibition of photography, painting and mixed media works. The exhibition has been a regular event at the gallery for a number of years.
The exhibition was curated by Phil Anderson.
The definition of sex and sexuality has and always will be open to interpretation. Each individual has his/ her own definition of what is considered sexual. What factors are recognized in the process defining something as ‘sexual’ or ‘erotic’ .
The Sex Show attempts to push the boundaries of the definition of sex. It approaches the topic of sex from all angles, exhibiting works that vary on a broad scale, from art that is more explicit to art that is more elusive in content. Not only does The Sex Show contain a wide variety of sex-related themes and contents, it also exhibits the use of abundantly different mediums such as film, sculpture, collage and paint.
