San Francisco Art Openings: The Shooting Gallery


THE SHOOTING GALLERY
THE 2ND ANNUAL EROTIC SHOW
OPENING 06.10.04

Comment: First of all, let's celebrate the fact that San Francisco is one of the few places in America where a gallery can present art like this without being subject to any form of suppression. Most pieces are good clean wholesome erotica; a few may be considered offensive in certain circles, but even those demonstrate the difference between art and obscenity, and that's enough right there to make the show worthwhile. And if an artist wants to address unconventional aspects of sexuality through his or her art, nothing should stop them. I'd rather see these matters explored on paper, canvas, or as sculpture, and on display in a progressive art gallery, than in perverse, exploitive, unenlightened, or non-consensual circumstances. The Erotic Show is sex education artist-style, and well worth a visit. Warning: Erections lasting more than 4 hours, though rare, require immediate medical attention.
