T art exhibition
31/08/11- 09/11/11
Berwick Street, Soho, London.Challenging and provocative, t art is an exhibition exploring the issues surrounding prostitution and the sex industry.
T art brings forward the controversial works of five contemporary artists from Sarah Lucas to Jeff Koons who were willing to hang their morals on the line to mock and imitate the sex industry, allowing us an insight into a secretive world.
The street exhibition, set in and around the streets of Soho where the first ever London brothel was formed takes a stand for the ‘curb crawlers’ and the ‘tarts’ of the London Streets and invites an audience to come and embrace an installation of life-like London ladies of the night.
Marking the dates of Jack the Ripper, the infamous killer of five London prostitutes, we see five pieces of selected work, each one representing another of the murdered. Ben Long’s Poubelle De Jour phone box, full to the brim of tart cards hangs around outside the sex shop of Berwick Street, whilst Shirin Fakhim’s Tehran Prostitutes prop themselves up against the shop door way, just like the real street walkers. Come and see t arts red lights, displaying works by Lucas, Koons and Emin in the shop windows around the heart of London’s sex industry.
An exhibit not to be missed for the over eighteens, a truly provocative and naughty display.
