This
display is meant to compliment two other exhibitions
on campus, including the Punk and Beat Generation show, Bop Apocalypse
to Blitzkrieg Bop, which highlights LPs, gig fliers, and books/fanzines
of each era, and the design show XXX:
The Power of Sex in Contemporary Design, which focuses on images
of sexuality represented in various forms of media, like print advertising
and CD art. By extending the dialogue and contributing an additional
catalogue of images, we hope to explore how unbound sexuality permeates
fine art, corporate rock’n’roll design (usually made
by commercial design firms) and Do-It-Yourself handmade punk art
traditions (usually made by self-taught artists). It does not attempt
to resolve complicated, controversial, and complex questions about
representation, including the tensions that can unfold when viewing
these works as liberating libidinal expressions, misogynist fantasies,
gender bending visions, or crude objects. This is just a sample
of work to generate questions, not answers.
