GOBBLEDYGOOK:
Sex in Art: denial, obsession and obfuscation The title of this show references the often-cited obscurantism of art theory and impenetrability of much philosophy. It also serves to draw a link between talking incoherently and at the same time giving pleasure to another: the word gobbledygook deriving from the name given to the action of a whore performing fellatio.
Thirdly the title suggests the denial, by talking nonsense, of the concealed sexual impulses that are channelled into art practice and are the root of much of its production. The sublimated pleasure that art affords is brought to the surface, eschewing guilt, shame and helping us to see more clearly what the life and nature of the human is.
Artist's works selected for this show all have a relationship to these different but closely related ideas of denial, obsession, obfuscation, interpretation and delight.

Entrance is free.

Please note: Works contain material of a sexual nature.
