The Great Wall of Vagina

Great wall of vagina

As part of his latest exhibition, artist Jamie McCartney presents a large-scale wall sculpture entitled “The Great Wall of Vagina” which consists of an entire wall taken over by sculptural casts of female genitalia.

Female genitalia have long been a source of fascination, recently of celebration but generally of confusion. Today it seems that creating images of the vagina is the sole preserve of pornographers, erotic artists and feminists. Step in British artist Jamie McCartney who has grasped the nettle to create a monumental wall sculpture all about this most intimate of places. For 400 women their privates have gone public… Half a decade since its humble beginnings, The Great Wall of Vagina has enticed women from many different countries and all walks of life to volunteer to be cast by McCartney in an overwhelmingly positive reaction to the project.

The 9 metre long polyptych consists of four hundred plaster casts of vulvas, all of them unique, arranged into ten large panels. McCartney set out to make this project as broad and inclusive as possible. The age range of the women is from 18 to 76. Included are mothers and daughters, identical twins, transgendered men and women as well as a woman pre and post natal and another one pre and post labiaplasty.

CBT on the Red Square

Self CBT in public ? Yes ! A couple of days ago, on November 10, 2013, Petr Andreevich Pavlensky, a Russian conceptual artist and political activist hammered a nail through his scrotum into cobblestones outside Lenin’s Mausoleum, on the day Russia marked its Police Day national holiday. The artist said in a statement that he was trying to draw attention to Russian society’s inaction in the face of the development of a police state.

Media reported the episode has happened in font of “hundreds of horrified tourists”. I’m wondering if there were instead some kinksters who greatly appreciate the show. : D

Needless to say the authorities did not appreciate the show as well. Policemen on Red Square quickly responded by first covering the naked artist with a blanket. The artist was then taken into custody and hospitalized after being removed from the pavement.

Mona Lisa and her kinks

Kinky Mona Lisa Original

Picture above is The Mona Lisa, a half-length portrait of a woman by the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci, which has been acclaimed as the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, and even the most parodied work of art in the world. In fact, here is a gallery of kinky versions of The Mona Lisa:

As you can see, there’s almost a version for each kink. Pity I couldn’t find a watersports version of her squatting and pissing on the floor…
