Erotics for Weirdos at rr June 16

Dear rec roomer,

Imagine women standing with their hands on their hips. Imagine men dressed like the Fonz. Picture a women sneezing, or a man repeatedly pushing the gas pedal. Visualize a woman making dinner, then dumping it on the floor and walking through the mess.

Does any of that turn you on?

If so, you're not alone. Google "weird fetishes" and you'll come across some of these specialized "porn" sites right away. Even if they haven't made a site for your favorite stimulus yet, chances are you'll find something titillating at rec room this week.

Join us at black rock Wednesday July 16 as our curator, Olivia Cronk brings us Erotics for Weirdos: The Aesthetics of the Everyday in the Erotic Imagination, which she describes like this:

This show will feature several pieces that gesture at a theory of erotics rooted in the odd detail: the smeared eyeliner, the broken spectacles, the chunk of carrot stuck so sweetly in between two teeth. Pieces will include performance-art, poetry, stories, and other sexiness. With performances by: Meg Barboza, Olivia Cronk, Liz Cross, Allison Gruber, Megan Martin, Kathy Regina, Erin Teegarden, and Melissa Walker.

See you then!
Erin
