Vernissages | NYC: 16.10.2019 "Super Funland" at Museum of Sex

SUPER FUNLAND: Journey into the Erotic Carnival, opening October 18th at the Museum of Sex, had the first preview yesterday. "SUPER FUNLAND is an interactive installation of thirteen humorously explicit games and amusements, created by an international team of prominent artists and designers, that re-imagines the carnival in all of its carnality and simple joy for a contemporary adult audience. Guests will uncover the carnival’s bacchanalian origins and licentious evolution from antiquity to pre-industrial Europe and the World’s Fairs of the 20th century."

It was a fun experience, between immersive projections, kaleidoscopes, slides, rabbit holes. pole dancers.

Vernissages | New York: Leonor Fini at Museum of Sex

A comprehensive exhibition of works by Leonor Fini (1907–1996) opened yesterday at the Museum of Sex in Manhattan. The Argentinian surrealist artist integrated different media in her oeuvre, characterized by depictions of  women: paintings, drawings, photographs, film and furniture. The artwork was accompanied by archival material and presentation of costumes. The archival film footage was particularly intriguing recording what in contemporary language can be defined as "performance art". The exhibition was "framed" in red velvet, which, in the theatrical dark lighting, greatly contributed to present the extreme sensuality of the drawings and paintings.
