  <Description><![CDATA[We live in a visual culture. Everywhere we look we are bombarded with images often to the point of sensory overload. Images shape our desires, the way we think and the manner in which we connect and interact with the world around us. Images serve as the driving force behind decisions about what to buy, what to believe, what to value, where to go and which people and relationships are worth our time and energy. These images come flying at us in commercials, music videos, television shows, mainstream film and in Internet spam. It is impossible to ignore the sensuality and sexuality of these images…and why should we?

Action: Sex and the Moving Image opening at the Museum of Sex in March 2007, traces the way sex and sexual imagery have impacted film, television, advertising and more contemporary outlets like the internet while simultaneously creating the multi- billion dollar porn industry and influencing popular art such as film, social standards, mores and behaviors.

Sex on film propelled the development of video technologies such as beta players, VCRS, and DVD players that have brought movies of all types into our homes. The Internet, the latest of this stream of technologies, has made sexual imagery more accessible than ever. No matter how much it is discussed, denounced, and demonized sex on film, sex on our televisions, sex on our computer screens and now sex on our mobile devices is here to stay.

Sex, nudity, and innuendo have always been a source of controversy and topics of public discourse and debate. Throughout the history of moving images legislation has affected not only what filmmakers could create, but also what people were “allowed” to see. Sex on film has been banned, censored, edited, and destroyed by those deeming the content to be obscene or immoral. Action: Sex and the Moving Image surveys the history of sex and the moving image over more than 150 years, featuring everything from sex symbols to “sexploitation” films of the 1950s to “porn chic” to contemporary celebrity “home-made” porn. The exhibition aims at providing the tools to become literate in the barrage of sexual driven images in our society.

  <Description><![CDATA[Spotlight on the Permanent Collection is the first exhibition featuring a sampling of objects and ephemera drawn from over nine thousand objects that comprise the permanent collection of the Museum of Sex. This ever-growing collection, begun five years ago, covers many aspects of human sexuality. The vast majority of items reflect America's changing attitudes about sex and sexuality over the last 250 years.

Spotlight on the Permanent Collection explores eight themes: sex education; mapping sex in America; sex in art; law and public morality; sex in advertising; sex and technology; sex and entertainment; and the significance of the Museum of Sex in New York City. The exhibition includes erotic works by well known artists like Randy Wray, Gerald Gooch and Alex Rockman donated to the museum by the Peter Norton Family and the Lannan Family Foundation. Highlights of the technology collection include homemade contraptions and commercial devices registered with the U.S. Patent Office that prevent, improve or enhance sexual function. Dan Siechert's &quot;Monkey Rocker&quot; or Abyss Creations LLC's &quot;Real Doll&quot; are just a few of the exhibits featured.

The gallery development team, lead by John Vollmer and Karen Eckhaus of the Museum of Sex, includes several leading authorities from a wide range of disciplines: Dr. Pepper Schwartz, Professor of Sociology at the University of Washington, St. Louis serves as a key advisor for &quot;Sex Education America.&quot; Joshua Berger and Sarah Dougher, authors of the (award-winning) book, XXX: The Power of Sex in Contemporary Design, have curated &quot;Stimulating Sales: Sex and Design.&quot;

Andrea Tone, Canada Research Chair in the Social History of Medicine Social Studies of Medicine &amp; Department of History at McGill University, and Rachel Maines, Researcher at Cornell University, offer commentary in &quot;Sex and Technology.&quot; Dr. Joseph Slade, Professor at the School of Telecommunications, Ohio University and advisor on the exhibition, Stag, Smokers, and Blue Movies, helped to plan the exhibits in &quot;American pornography&quot; which are drawn from the Museum of Sex's Ralph Whittington collection.

  <Description><![CDATA[Australian artist Andrew Rogers, creator of one of the world's largest contemporary land art projects, transforms the Museum’s garden through sculptural forms suggesting a river bed, a tree of life and rays of light in this specially designed multipart installation. Featuring a large marble relief and twenty carved stones, the installation, conceived in response to the story of our origins in the Book of Genesis, invites contemplation and dialogue on the interaction between ancient life and contemporary society.

  <Description><![CDATA[Mad. Sq. Art, part of Madison Square Park Conservancy, presents &quot;Event Horizon,&quot; thirty-one life-size body forms of the artist cast in iron and fiberglass will inhabit the pathways and sidewalks of historic Madison Square Park as well as the rooftops of the architectural treasures that populate New York's vibrant Flatiron District. Event Horizon will mark Gormley's United States public art debut; a milestone for an artist whose work has garnered worldwide acclaim over the past 25 years; as well as the first time Mad. Sq. Art has exhibited works outside of Madison Square Park.

According to the artist, &quot;The installation connects the palpable, the perceivable and the imaginable, creating a relational field in which the passerby as well as the aware viewer is implied in a matrix of looking and being looked at.&quot; A fascinating intervention into the urban environment, Event Horizon explores the relationship between the public, as it moves throughout the installation neighborhood, and the art object—the human form. Four figures will be placed at ground level, tangibly interrupting the course of daily life within Madison Square Park as the epicenter of the district-wide installation. Twenty-seven works will be placed on rooftops as high as 55 stories up and on parapets around the Park, including such architecturally noteworthy buildings in the area as Daniel Burnham's The Flatiron Building, Cass Gilbert's New York Life Building, The Clock Tower Building (formerly the MetLife Building), and 200 Fifth Avenue (formerly known as The Toy Building). Viewers will be encouraged to journey throughout the area, to take in views of all thirty-one of Gormley's sculptures and the city's urban landscape from both nearby and afar.

  <Description><![CDATA[The Guild Art Gallery presents Domus Vulgus the New York debut show of Contemporary India artist Apnavi Thacker. Born in Bombay, India and brought up in Geneva, Switzerland, Apnavi Thacker grew up benefiting from two very different cultures. Her experiences in both cities have had a major impact on her work. Apnavi is a self-taught artist, although she gained valuable knowledge and experience during her two years of training under the guidance of Bose Krishnamachari. Her work addresses such issues as the possible link between a woman and her self-confidence and level of comfort with her sexuality, and the impact of urban development on the environment.
 
For Domus Vulgus, Thacker will literally recreate a shack, similar to the ones seen in slum dwellings of the city of Mumbai, India, as well as paintings. Being a street artist Thacker has developed a keen eye for urban environments and in particular what society would term as urban decay – meaning the vast slum areas that are now synonymous with urban construction and the landscape of Mumbai. Her initial practice as an artist in Switzerland exposed her to street art and graffiti something that is virtually non-existent in India. Thackers work therefore amalgamates the visual aesthetic of street art from one culture and the literal visual and functional aspects of street culture in another, to conjure up strongly individualistic, socio-political statements. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Raandesk Gallery of Art presents an exhibition of mixed-media works by Robert Kent Wilson. Drawing from a selection of works created between 2000 and 2010, Robert Kent Wilson: Pixel by Pixel presents an overview of the artist's evolution throughout the past 10 years. On view will be richly hued abstract landscapes and object studies that draw corners, crevices, and background imagery to the forefront in striking investigations of color, texture, focus, and form.

Taking as his starting point what he calls &quot;discarded stimuli&quot;, or those normally overlooked points of focus, Wilson assembles collages made of written text and found materials such as discarded photographs, color sketches, leaves, and tree bark. A small cropped-out area of this preliminary &quot;sketch&quot; is then enlarged to as much as 100 times its original size, digitally printed, and mounted or framed using pieces of architectural material such as beams, doors, and molding. Without pure figuration or sharpness of focus, the resulting works bring once-unnoticed details into sharp relief. Organic patterns and textures come together with bold colors in candid and revelatory explorations of small spaces, quiet details, and transitions in space and time. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Jason Rulnick presents “Inside White”, a second solo exhibition by Lisa Abbott-Canfield. The paintings featured in this show were created from improvisational linear gestures the artist then rethinks and resolves until forms are complete. While looking at Abbott-Canfield’s work, the viewer is presented with a finished object that retains subtle traces of its under-painting process.  The final stage of the painting’s journey appears luminous and boundless as the shapes depicted extend beyond the plane and invoke their ambiance on the light that surrounds.   
 
Lisa Abbott-Canfield studied at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Sarah Lawrence College in 1999.  She has been associated recently with the New York Studio School and The Painting Center in New York City.  Abbott-Canfield’s work has 
been featured with Jason Rulnick in the group exhibition “Abstract in Appearance” (Jan. 2008) 
and a solo exhibition of new work in May 2008. Lisa Abbott-Canfield lives and works in New 
York City where she is a member of the Westbeth Artists Community. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;I am fascinated by the many ways the American flag appears in our urban landscape. When I began work on this series I photographed a lot of flags. A neglected flag fading, tucked away in a window. Another hung prominently, proudly and yet incorrectly. A wind-torn one flying high above the city street that appeared to have been transported from a ship at sea. However, I soon realized that the most unique images were ones that I shot standing directly under the flags and looking straight up. By doing this, I removed almost all elements from the flag's surroundings, and transformed my subject from an icon into something more recognizable as say, a flower. Throughout this series, I have continued to capture the effects of wind and light as they change the flag.&quot; - Amadeo Lasansky ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Pema TNamdol haye is renowned for his expertise in traditional Tibetan tangka painting, sculpture and the creation of rare three dimensional mandalas. Comprising complex geometry, symbolism and iconography, the arts of ancient Tibet represent one of the most elaborate and detailed spiritual and artistic traditions in the world. Pema Thaye has provided an important contribution to this traditional art for more than 28 years.

This exhibition will consist of not only his original paintings and prints, but also a premier showing of his 3-D artworks, including gem-adorned gold and silver creations and intricate carvings in wood and wax.The essential core of the exhibition is Pema’s tangka paintings, varying in subject matter from ethereal celestial Buddhas, bodhisattvas and goddesses, and complex lineage refuge trees and mandalas, to mahasiddhas and arhats.

  <Description><![CDATA[In this newest installation, Twomey, known for conceptual fearlessness, bridges the gap between heaven and earth. Audio, film, and photographs enacting earthly endeavors float among the intangible fluffy stuff of dreams.

Twomey organizes this intimate gallery space into three discreet areas. A composition of about15 photographs of various sizes and shapes are grouped on the three walls of the entry room. The subject of the images express a variety of effort, and range from an abstract picture of skin touching skin, an old hand dialing a phone, to the corn-rowing of a young girls hair. These
subjects float against a dreamy grey backdrop depicting an instant of earthly reality.

The sounds from the next area draw the viewer into the main exhibition space, which is entirely lined and filled with fluffy, cloud-like material shimmering in the light. In and around the fluffy stuff, small DVD’s seem to float. They play video loops in which orchestrated sound and the subjects seen previously, are enacting and re-enacting their earthly actions with eerie resolve.
Exiting this space through an open door leading to the outdoor patio, one sees the culmination of the exhibition which provides the epiphany of this show. The essence of cloud nature seems to mix with that of the actual sky while a hypnotic and exotic DVD ties the conceptual threads together...]]></Description>
