Sex Now: Provocative art from Düsseldorf on the trail of lust!

Düsseldorf, Deutschland - In the NRW Forum Düsseldorf, the exhibition "Sex Now" is presented, which deals with the complexity of lust, body and desire. The show, which is released from the age of 18, shows around 400 objects that provide information about different dimensions of sexuality. Alain Bieber, the artistic director, explains that the exhibition not only addresses artistic works, but also important social issues about sexual freedom and education. It was clarified in advance with the police and the public prosecutor's office, which is considered pornographically or artistic in the context of this exhibition. The exhibition itself addresses the sexual revolution of the 68s and the historical overview of sexual morality and #sex positive Zeitung .

The exhibits include the sexual studies of 1969 and the Beate-Uhse catalog, both of which give a fascinating insight into the social changes in recent decades. In addition, the installation "Fleshie Fountain" is presented by Peaches, together with interactive VR experiences that enable visitors to explore different bodies and gender features.

diverse topics and stations

The exhibition is divided into ten thematic rooms that illuminate various aspects of sexuality. Chapter like #kinky and #futuresex are dedicated to unconventional preferences and the challenges and opportunities of intimacy in the digital age. Other topics such as #metoo deal with artistic perspectives on violence, abuse of power and sexual assault.

technology and sexual self -determination

Another interesting element of the exhibition is the use of social media platforms. The NRW forum has started an account on the erotic platform "ONLYFANS" to provide exclusive insights behind the scenes of the exhibition. This innovative approach raises questions about sexual self -determination and the influence of technologies on interpersonal closeness. In addition, topics related to queer identities and female lust play a central role in the entire project.

The exhibition "Sex Now" in the NRW forum is therefore not only a platform for artistic interpretations, but also a forum for essential social discourses. It shows that dealing with sexuality in art and society is still of great importance. The context of queer art, such as in the Mainz Kunsthalle, where queer life stories are discussed in various artistic forms, illustrates the relevance of this topic in today's time reports SWR .
