For play – Shaping Sexuality
For Play
The oldest dildo ever to be found dates back 28,000 years. Together with statuettes like the Venus of Willendorf the toy is hard evidence that physicality and sex have sparked our imagination ever since the Stone Age. It also shows that sexuality can be shaped; it is an experience embedded in stories and images that have been changing throughout the ages.
In today’s erotic landscape, dominated by porn and commerce, co-curators Sanne Muiser and Tom Loois often miss the kind of spontaneity and inventiveness that can make sex such good fun. So they asked over 30 artists and designers for alternative visions: more playful, vulnerable, more original. The result is For Play, a titillating exhibition in MU from October 7th until November 13th.
