Another month, another raunchy exhibition at the Barbican. Should make me feel even more inadequate about my current celibacy...Well - I went with R & P and as we dutifully went round carefully inspecting people shagging in various positions, men wearing hats made of cocks (whole new meaning for dickhead) and victorian porn, i couldn't help wondering how the exhibition got away with sex being so closely associated with penetration alone. hmm. no lesbian sex please, we're british. still, it was fun. best 'exhibits'? - robert mapplethorpe being fisted; and a brilliant video of a woman's face as she gets a blowjob. And, being a total sucker (ha ha) for all things neon - remember the tate 'butterflies' where the 'b' and 'f' flicked on and off so it became 'utter lies'? - I also liked Tracey Emin's 'Is Anal Sex Legal?' // 'Is Legal Sex Anal?'. Genius.
