NYC Museum of Sex

Posted on 13 November 2006 by Tommy

The NYC museum of sex is definitely not as fun as the sex museums I visited in Europe. Now I sound like a pervert going to all these sex museum. This is making me look real bad, Why am I posting this again? Oww yea to tell you guys about my experience.

During my visit to the museum, they were introducing peeping, probing and porn: four centuries of graphic sex in Japan. A bit strange but, somewhat fascinating. The exhibitions traced the erotic image in Japan from the Edo period. So there was porn as old as woodblock prints to the popular modern day anime.

Basically what do during your visit to this museum is watch porn in public. A bit strange at first but, it becomes the norm after a while (given that everyone keeps there hands were it can be seen).

This museum probably isn’t on my list of top places to visit in NYC but, it’s worth checking out. Make sure you visit their website for a $5.00 coupon because at $14.50 to watch porn is just not worth it.

Pics from the event can be found here Here.

“This major museum exhibition, which premiered at the National Gallery of Art, is the first in the United States to focus exclusively on Dada, one of the twentieth century’s most influential avant-garde art movements. Responding to the disasters of World War I and to an emerging modern media and machine culture, Dada artists led a creative revolution that profoundly shaped the course of subsequent art. Dada was a defiantly international movement, the first to self-consciously position itself as an expansive network crossing countries and continents. Born in neutral Zurich and New York, two cities that served as independent points of origin for the movement, Dada rapidly spread to Berlin, Cologne, Hannover, Paris, and beyond. This exhibition surveys the many forms of Dada artistic production as developed in the movement’s six primary city centers and features over four hundred works in a dynamic multimedia installation that includes collages, films, paintings, photographs, printed matter, sound recordings, and sculpture. Among the nearly fifty artists represented are Hans Arp, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Raoul Hausmann, Hannah Höch, Francis Picabia, Kurt Schwitters, and Sophie Taeuber, along with a number of less familiar individuals associated with the movement. A publication accompanies the exhibition.”

In keeping with the Museum’s long tradition of presenting animation, this is the most extensive gallery exhibition that MoMA has ever devoted to the genre. Featuring over 500 works of original art on loan for the first time from Pixar Animation Studios, the show includes paintings, concept art, sculptures, and an array of digital installations. These works reveal the intricate, hands-on processes behind Pixar’s computer-generated films—including Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, and numerous shorts. The exhibition also includes a complete retrospective of Pixar films. Demonstrating the symbiotic relationship between traditional and digital media pioneered by the studio over its twenty-year history, Pixar: 20 Years of Animation is a tribute to the artists whose work has reinvented the genre.

The Yoshiko and Akio Morita Gallery features the world premiere of two media pieces that embody the intersection of art and science that distinguishes computer animation. Artscape, a widescreen projection created by artist/director Andrew Jimenez and sound designer Gary Rydstrom, invites viewers to experience, in the context of a digital installation, much of the handcrafted art shown elsewhere in the exhibition. Zoetrope is a dynamic installation, modeled on pre-cinema technology, which rotates character sculptures under a strobe light to simulate continuous motion.

Organized by Steven Higgins, Curator, and Ronald S. Magliozzi, Assistant Curator, with Jenny He, Research Assistant, Department of Film and Media. The exhibition is made possible by Intel Corporation and Porsche AG. Additional support is provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Media sponsorship is provided by Wired Magazine.
