Sara Morrison v BFF thread 4

continuation

lens-based artists

Is that what us plebs would call 'photographers', and is it compulsory to use pretentious twaddle-speak when it’s Art you’re trying to pretend you’re doing?

Bother. Forgot my charger. Updates will have to wait until I'm back home today.

I think so!

So the photo was banned from Nicks Twitter as porn.

Link up thread and we can see if Mumsnet will upload it here as it is evidence in a tribunal

Ah. So identified by Twitter as porn.

But formed the part of an exhibition.

Which the witness walked past regularly.

And never noticed.

Right.

As well as being milked fetishisarion of being pregnant with the child who will suckle from your fake breasts.

All no doubt funded by public money.

Who is funding sex realists?

The gallery that Michele walked up and down each working day for six weeks but didn’t notice the art or porn photos

It's all a bit dull and adoloscent and yes, really conventional. About as interesting as someone shouting "Bum" in a cathedral. Look at me, I am so queer and transgressive, nope, just quite boring.

Jesus fucking H Christ.

Sci Fi Tit Pump. I just had to explain this to my OH.

Oh...I've not looked at any pics but I'm guessing it was a bull semen extractor wasn't it? It was wasn't it? It's got to be.

Let’s see if Mumsnet will allow it

From Nick Wallis blog - as direct evidence from Court

Sci Fi Tit Pump

Somdone I know used to have access to some Victorian prison records, in them was a bloke up on a charge for something like gross indecency because he had made his maid take off all her clothes and milk a cow.

This post is made in the "you think you're being daring but the Victorians got there first" dept.

I get so bored with art that insists one engages with a narrative, it usually means it's a bit crap as art and won't stand up on its own. Just bugger off and let me engage with it on my own terms.

I knew I shouldn't have opened that photo.
<pushes half-finished breakfast away>

I clicked on the link but thankfully the picture was hidden by the 'Sign into Instagram' box.

I was really enjoying the butter chat until @SexRealistic’s Venn diagram brought it all together.

@ProfessorVegemiteandhoneyontoast your Special System for butter is obviously a result of your academic specialism. Of course, the post explaining it counts as publication, so have a PhD in time for the new thread!

And yes this!
I do know of some artists who engage in transgressive behaviour in the name of art, and I can't go too far due to outing potential. I know of them because I know people who have worked with them on other kinds of art (at which they are actually very good) and who knows a bit about their other stuff but actually doesn't want to know too much about it or tell me.
But you'll never know about it, it'll never be plastered on foyer walls or anywhere near children, it's a private consensual thing and kept that way.

And of course, they don't have to grift it out and flaunt it around because they have the skills to make other art that they get paid for, because they put the sodding work in.

I’ve found some interesting stuff on Caleb. Won’t post anything due to above concerns, but will be interested to see if the complaint is mentioned again.

It takes forcing women to engage in your fetish to a whole new level. How many women got their nails done but didn't quite realise what those hands had been doing.

I have looked, not pleasant (thanks)

I am not sure the picture is of a milking device, to me it looks as though it is designed to enhance breast moob size in a manner similar to an Austin Powers style penis pump.

(Off to boots to look for eye bleach)

@SexRealistic surely it should be ProfessorSciFiTitPump

Thank you but I wish I hadn't looked. I looked at more of this photographer's site too, seems it was a whole project with Sarah about "her new femininity" and as a result I have also seen Sarah sat on the stairs in his underwear.

What are these artists thinking? Do they really think this is edgy and cool and not just tired and offensive? Nan Goldin did this topic more than 30 years ago and far better. I'm sure others have too.

If these photos were of a woman they would have got nowhere. Just Spinal Tap Smell The Glove levels of shit.

The sci-fi tit pump made me think of the 'gynaecological instruments for operating on mutant women' that feature in the film Dead Ringers (the original Jeremy Irons version, not the crappy remakes). That film was so good on the enthralled hatred that some men have for women's bodies, simultaneously craving them and disgusted by them; seeking to master and symbolically destroy them

Bleagghhh I just found the photo too. Wish I hadn't.

And NW only managed to post the photo on Twitter because he covered up the offensive part
