With a focus upon the 20th and 21st centuries, the group exhibitionBODYPOLITICX takes a contemporary look at an age-old fascination, seeing sex through the eyes of over 70 artists, film-makers, activists, photo-journalists, musicians and magazine editors. By means of visual juxtaposition, the exhibition sets out to examine the demarcation of the sex industry, subculture, pop, performance and art. BODYPOLITICXasks: If we have learnt from Shakespeare what love is, what can we learn from the cultural practice of pornography?
