Today I walked down to Sperone Westwater, a gallery well off the beaten path, deep in the bowels of the Meatpacking District, to view the latest New York installment of Belgian artist Wim Delvoye. Delvoye, as you may recall, was responsible for the truly shitty (in only the most literal sense) "Cloaca" — a huge, hilarious representation of a digestive system that I saw at the New Museum in March.
Once again, he moved me to unabashed guffawing. This time, the hilarity came courtesy of "Gothic Works", which included nine stained-glass windows combining erotic and medical X-ray imagery, X-ray photography, and bird houses. Because I know you're more than just a little curious to see stained-glass images that incorporate schlongs and blow jobs, I've included a few photos here that I managed to surreptitiously take when the Pratt students (they arrived shortly after I did) and gallery staff weren't looking. Look long and hard, and you'll see what I saw.
My day also included, among other activities, a fantastic lunch al fresco; an upbeat conversation with an astonishingly attractive guy named Josh about his Wheaton Terrier, Oscar (the dog was even cuter); a few fabulous Banana Republic purchases; and this, which made me laugh just as much as, if not more than, Wim Delvoye's work.
Ahhh, how I 
New York! (And whimsical dicksuckle art!)
Why Deb? Thinking of turning them inside out so the coo-coo-cock pops "in" on the hour? Great at noon and midnight; Not as much fun an hour later.

Offered by: Deb on October 24, 2002 11:01 AMSeeing the number of filling in the person's mouth that is kissing the schlong (A bit smaller than mine I noticed smugly), I'd say someone isn't doing enough brushing and flossing in between "meals".
Offered by: Thomas on October 24, 2002 8:45 AMJodi, did you buy any of the stained glass to "admire"?
Offered by: Sally on October 23, 2002 11:49 PMNicole kind of stole my joke, but I'll post it anyway:

Offered by: Amanda on October 23, 2002 8:09 PMWOW. Thanks for sharing. It's the most unusual erotic art I've even seen (or considered was available).
Offered by: Desert Mermaid on October 23, 2002 6:50 PMOh good Lord, I really need to live in the big city. So people exposed themselves to the danger of multiple X-rays for art? I appreciate seeing an x-ray of a blow job, but doesn't the technician usually COVER that part of the anatomy during x-rays?
