Opening Night: F*CK ART, Universe of Desire (Photos)

Two new exhibitions. Opening night. It was quite a party.

The first exhibition, “Universe of Desire,” examines human desire through the lens of internet behaviors. Meanwhile, F*CK ART invited 20 select street artists to occupy the third floor gallery of the Museum. Guests for the opening night, which included half-naked servers, a dick pop ice cream cart by LUSH with Candy Rain and Andy San Dimas, BDSM specialists from Domi Dollz and a drag performance from the Screaming Queens, made sure the evening was a titillating one. Thanks to all for coming!

In response to the growing anti-institution sentiment pervasive in our culture, the Museum of Sex has engaged a group of 20 select street artists to occupy the third floor gallery at the Museum of Sex. Showcasing work that pushes the boundaries of our relationship to sexuality in public space, F*CK ART invites a dialogue around the power of visual provocation in the urban environment.

Type. Swipe. Search. Upload. Download. Post. Stream. These are the new verbs of desire. Our most intimate thoughts, fantasies, and urges are now transmitted via electronic devices to rapt audiences all over the world. These transmissions—from sexts to webcam masturbation feeds—are anonymous yet personal, individual yet collective, everywhere and nowhere, and they are contributing to the largest sexual record to date. In short, desire has gone viral. This interactive exhibit explore human desire through the lens of internet behaviors.
