In what promises to be more a festival than an actual exhibit, curator Rafi Ghanaghounian of Keep Six Contemporary has enlisted a dizzying array of international and local art stars to contribute to Explicit Fantastic, his exploration of the state of sexuality. Not content to show just erotic art, he’s also included film, sculpture, performance and an intriguingly named Dirty Laundry reading series.
Sometimes the art world is dissed for being too self-referential. An artist makes a sculpted copy of an obscure painting, say, or devotes years to making works “inspired” by a little-known critique of a single photograph.
