Neo-Erotic Juried Show

Art at Large, New York

Curated by Grady T. Turner

Art @ Large is pleased to announce an exhibition of 36 artists from around the US and beyond, curated by Grady T. Turner, art critic, author, and Executive Curator of the inaugural exhibition of the Museum of Sex, New York City.

"This a dichotomous moment for artists interested in sex and sexuality," says Mr. Turner. "On the one hand, commercial galleries and art magazines are filled with art addressing intimacy, love, and the body, some of it rather explicit. On the other, the category of 'erotic art' is regarded as something of an art world ghetto, cut apart from the mainstream and thus largely denied acccess to its infrastructure of galleries, magazines, art fairs and so on.

"In jurying this show, I was impressed by the quality and diversity of art submitted by artists who would classify their work as erotic. In the very painful process of making final selections from over 300 sumbissions, I decided to select a group that reflected the variety of those submissions. So it is that the final result is a mix of media and sexual styles, but also of fine artists and commercial artists, professionals and amateurs, teachers and students.

Viewers will hopefully forgive the curator's bias in favor of diversity, and appreciate that behind each image on view are dozens more by each artist, and dozens more by dozens more artists. Erotic art is now an extraordinarily rich field. Art @ Large is to be commended for providing a much needed gallery space for this movement."
