Seduced: Art and Sex from Antiquity to Now; New Erotic Art Show in London Again to Explore Differences Between Porn And Art

For me the lines between art and porn are blurred, I’m sorry to say. But here we go again. The new Erotic Art Show aims to again to discuss the differences between art and porn which I think can be debated ad infinitum. Here’s a sound tidbit from the article though: “Certainly when a work is old it appears to us as more acceptable as art rather than pornography. Professor Kemp says art is also more complicated than porn, arousing a mixture of emotions. The other big difference is the quality.” I think it is entirely possible to arouse a mixture of emotions in what can be called flat out porn as well. Oh what the hell, we’ve been through this a million times. I’ll say one thing, is that I only write about art that is arousing, and/or of quality, or porn that is, more or less artistic which means “arousing a mixture of emotions” - now which emotions those are, we can debate as to their arousal quotient, but for one thing, I still can’t make heads or tails out of Jeff Koons which is a perfect example of art and porn intersecting, I guess. RIP, Cicciolina, btw.
