The theme of our first juried show is much the same as the mission of the CSC gallery; to provide a space for work that addresses sexuality and sexual identity and upholds a high standard of artistic merit. Doing Your Dirty Work aims to stand as evidence that art about sex is every bit as valid, complex, compelling, beautiful, ugly and sophisticated as art ever is. Our call for submissions, expressing this simple notion, generated hundreds of responses from seventeen countries. Many, as expected, were submissions from artists whose sexual work is excluded from their otherwise successful careers. Many were from artists whose careers are limited by the sexual content of their work. We have selected art that runs from comical to carnivorous and from haute to hairy. Like The Center for Sex and Culture itself, there is something for almost everyone. Dorian Katz, CuratorDoing Your Dirty Work includes work by: Scott Andrew, Rocky Angel, Patti Beadles, DeAndre Britton, M.C.

Zoom IN THE GALLERY - DECEMBER: Dorian Katz and Jamil Hellu: People We Know Dorian Katz’s Poppers the Pony Starring in the Ecstasy of Saint Sebastian - Ink, blood, and paper 32.5x41.5 Opening December 2, 2011 6:00pm - 9:00pmViewings by appointment December 2 - December 31, 2011 and at other CSC Events For viewing appointments, email info@doriankatz.netor jamilhellu@gmail.com The Center for Sex and Culture is proud to present the work of these two emerging queer artists who have broken away from the techniques and traditions of the great art of the AIDS generation. Both Hellu and Katz have struck out in new directions, addressing issues of identity, sexuality, personage, and history with a level of nuance and comfort that reflects the more integrated queerness of contemporary society without assimilation or apology. Dorian Katz’s epicurean perversity permeates the animalized portraits of her friends and herself in black ink on white paper. Continuing from previous animal work as well as self-portraiture in character, she brings together sexuality and playful animal allegories with classical, religious, renaissance and other artistic influences and references. Jamil Hellu, inspired by early portrait photography, presents his subjects actively sitting for photographs rather than captured instantaneously. His large format color work presents still poses through longer exposure times, slowing down the photographic act and forcing a meditative moment as part of his process.
