Everyone thinks about sex. It has been part of our collective psyche, part of our everyday lives, and explored by every form of art since the beginning of time. One could even argue that erotic themed art is the purest form of art in its intrinsic human relatability. Any number of emotions can bring about a potent art experience, but in sensual desire there is the possibility for joy, insecurity, silliness, vanity, empowerment, vulnerability, so many things. Kink: The Seduction of Art is an endeavor to explore the theme of erotic art in a contemporary context. With new pieces created specifically for the exhibit by many of the twenty-three artists, the theme is visited with multiple enthusiastic points of view. How each artist determined their individual definition of ‘erotic art’ was left entirely open ended. The result was a varied repertoire of insight into the way we collectively regard sex, sexuality and ultimately a significant element of being human.
