Sensitivity Training
By Margaret Lyons in Arts & Entertainment on Oct 11, 2007 3:16PM
Why is WBEZ warning us about "sensitive language" in a story about a sexually-charged art exhibit? On 848 Gabriel Spitzer said the language might be "offensive." We've listened to the coverage of
"Girl on Guy: the object of my desire" twice now, and we have no idea what the hell they're talking about. Does saying "genitalia" really warrant a warning? Is uttering the word "porn" really so scandalous? Lisa Labuz said "sodomize" a few minutes ago. Our ears! Our...ears?
"Girl on Guy: the object of my desire," the exhibit in the story, is ostensibly salacious, what with all the male nudity (on an Eames chair! oh, the humanity), plaster-cast wieners,
"Girl on Guy" is up through Nov 3 at the A + D Gallery at Columbia College.
