yeah, that is quite some sculpture . . . what was the title? . . . just got distracted thinking about what the artist's description was like . . .
since we are on the topic (ahem, penises & art, in case you forgot) i have a piece of art to contribute. i found this in my art in america magazine and actually thought it was quite genius.
the artists are tim nobel and sue webster and the piece is called black narcissus. here's the description (i can't find a photo online so i will just scan it later)
"What a mess the unconscious is!" the artists say, essentially. It just goes its own bloody way--doesn't it?--regardless of how the world's protocols (e.g., minding one's manners in an art gallery) would have us behave otherwise. In an adjacent Deitch room, a spotlit clot of black rubber casts of Noble's penis (perhaps not quite the scale of the late John Holmes's, but impressive nevertheless) and Webster's fingers magically throws a double shadow portrait of the artists upon a wall. This particular couple's unconscious is apparently a lot neater and more targeted than everybody else's: just a little heterosexual hand-job.
yeah. it really is just a giant sculpture of hands and penises but the shadow self portraits are amazing!
on other news, i think the shoes look cute with the dress and will snap some pictures later.
happy wednesday my friend!
