We’re pretty pumped to open the latest F.A.G. project, Strange Genitals tomorrow night at AICAD. The exhibition, as its title suggests, is a collection of weird organs invented, depicted, or otherwise enhanced by artists. Although the show features a lot of fleshy skin tones, it was actually inspired by something totally inorganic: these futuristic fuckmachine tower GIFs from Jonathan Monaghan.
Jonathan sent us this series last year, when we were looking for architectural/landscape inspired work for our exhibition Geographically Indeterminate Fantasies: The Animated GIF as Place. We ended up showing another series of his, but knew this one needed to be seen. Thus, Strange Genitals was born—squeezed into the world from a baroque steampunk orifice being penetrated by a futuristic robot phallus.
You can see Jonathan’s GIFs after the jump.
And if you want to see even more Strange Genitals from Jared Buckhiester, Saul Chernick, Sejong Cho, Carol Cole, June Culp, Phaan Howng, Rokudenashiko (Megumi Igarashi), Jonathan Monaghan, Cupid Ojala, Ga Hee Park, Sophia Park, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Jessica Stoller, and Jessica Wilson check out the opening tomorrow night at 6 p.m.
The show will be on view at AICAD’s Seminar Gallery (20 Jay Street, suite m10, Brooklyn) until Nov 19th.
