Why do we shun conversations and representations of the body, especially black, brown, queer, fat, skinny, and disabled bodies to quiet and private spaces? On Saturday December 10th, the Brooklyn Museum will bring these conversations to the fore as painter Betty Tompkins (first images are NSFW) shares insights into the Marilyn Minter: Pretty/Dirty. Both Tompkins and Minter approach images of sexuality with a graphic force and explore our notions of desire, the body, and what is in/appropriate.Artist’s Eye is a series of intimate, in-gallery talks by contemporary artists will illuminate our special exhibitions with fresh and alternative perspectives. Most recently, Cameron Rowland spoke on Beverly Buchanan’s interest in Southern vernacular architecture for Beverly Buchanan—Ruins and Rituals.Posted by Chris MoyerMarilyn Minter (American, born 1948).
