Admit it: everyone has wandered around a museum or Italy or something and wondered why ancient statues have such tiny penises. They are so itty bitty, and even if they’re flaccid, they’re still really small. According to New York Magazine’s The Cut, there’s a super simple answer for all of this. Just like the standard […]
The last time I saw Morrissey, it was at the currently-under-construction Congress Theatre in Chicago. It was a bad show. Moz started high and took a slow dive that turned into a cannonball right around the time that he performed the vegan anthem “Barbarism Begins at Home” to a backdrop of videos of animals being […]
Residents of Celoron, New York, Lucille Ball’s hometown, are very unhappy with this horrifying statue that definitely does not look like the late comedienne. It looks like Paulie Walnuts from “The Sopranos” if you ask me. Anyway, the statue has been living in Celoron since 2009, but I suppose after five years they’ve all had […]
No, that’s not a deflated woman. It’s Chrissy Skin Rug, a work of art created by New York-based sculptor Chrissy Conant. What is it? A silicone rubber cast of herself. To make it, she shaved her body, coated herself in Vaseline, and lay spread-eagle on the floor, where she was covered with molding material. It’s […]
There’s a stigma around virginity, so gay college student Clayton Pettet, 19, is doing his part by having anal sex inside an art gallery in front of a live audience on January 25th. Pettet’s performance art will be called “Art School Stole My Virginity” and will include first-time butt sex with a friend and then […]
Art comes in many forms and sometimes people don’t always “get it.” But for University of Buffalo art student Ashley Powell, the point was to get a reaction when she posted “White Only” and “Black Only” signs over the drinking fountains in the school’s Clemens Hall. The Spectrum, an independent student publication at UB, reported that Powell admitted to posting […]
New York-based artist Spencer Tunick is here to change some things with a powerful art “titstallation,” if you will (yes, I had to). A specialist in large-scale nude photographs, he’s asking 100 women to pose nude at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland on July 17, at sunrise. Participants will be a living, posing metaphor of what it means […]
Our interpretations of art tend to reflect what’s going on with us internally, which is extremely telling for the nursery staff that accused a 4-year-old of extremist radicalization, after they assumed his drawing of his dad cutting a cucumber actually depicted his dad handling a “cooker bomb.” Located in Luton, England, the nursery staff apparently started suspecting […]
Street artist Starchild Stela is not your run-of-the-mill graffiti enthusiast. She’s using her can of spray paint to make feminist statements and “spread out radical cute culture.” This “Cats Against Catcalls” piece is a prime example of her aesthetic. Love. It. Check out more of her amazing art on her Facebook page. [Via The Clueless Girl] Original by […]
