LUST & TABOO. ABOUT SEX AND ART
Book launch and discussion

Sunday, 21 04 2013, 11 am
Albertina Musensaal

Sex has always been a theme in the visual arts. Sometimes more, sometimes less veiled. Sometimes the gods had to serve as a motif, sometimes just the next swinger club. In twelve short stories selected artists are presented that have explored and expanded the limits of erotic representation. Often rewarded with censorship and persecution.

The artist Sonja Gangl, philosopher Konrad Paul Liessmann, Albertina director Klaus Albrecht Schröder and author Almuth Spiegler will contribute to the discussion.

Admission to the event is free. Registration here.

The book ‘Lust & Taboo. About Sex and Art’ by Almuth Spiegler can be ordered here.

The ‘art austria’ presents from 11 to14 04 2013 Austrian art at the ‘Leopold Museum’. On 3 floors 45 galleries and art dealers wait to show you their portfolio. There will be side-events like discussions and the launch of the ‘Art Austria Magazin 2013’. And for those of you, who do not only hunger for art, there will be a temporary restaurant at the museum.
