You can see an example <a href="http://www.artinfo.com/news/enlarged_image/25684/56631/">here</a>. Not everyone is <a href="http://www.artreview.com/profiles/blog/show?id=1474022%3ABlogPost%3A30891">impressed</a> (scroll to #4). <em>The paintings were produced with oil paint applied directly to the artist’s testicles and imprinted on various bound and ephemeral printed matter including: mainstream magazines such as Time and Life; art market staples such as Artforum, Art in America and Art News; exhibition and auction catalogues; rare magazines and artist’s books; personal letters; and lastly, on an assortment of original artworks, poems and studio notes by Vito Acconci, Simon Bedwell, Alejandro Cesarco and Dan Graham.</em> <em>Like Marcel Broodthaers’ eagles, the testicular imprints also delineate a critical archive, acting like stamps of inclusion. What Guagnini establishes through this process are the relationships between Patriarchy, Private Property, Power, Progress, Position, Packaging and Personality in twentieth-century art production.</em> tag:metafilter.com,2008:site.72614 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 16:27:50 -0800 art artisdead balls ballstamps hack testicles rooftop secrets
