Posing Without Pants, Epilogue

1. Georg Baselitz Spekulatius, 1965
2. Georg Baselitz The Big Night Down The Drain (Die Große Nacht Im Eimer), 1962–63
3. Georg Baselitz Untitled (Remix), 2007

Since the Penis Revolution has confronted us with the very reality of manhood, we are asked to question our own relationship towards what is hidden or revealed between our legs. If the decision was to be made by Georg Baselitz alone, the answer is straight-forward instead of upside down: Embrace. Comrprise. Grab. In other news, Baselitz would wear chaps.

Thoughts On Pop Culture, Sex & Fashion

1. Iggy Pop 1996
2. Anthony Kiedis 1984
3. Ann Demeulemeester Spring/Summer 2003
4. Maison Martin Margiela Spring/Summer 1989

The sexualization of our everyday life is supposedly enforced by images of pop culture and advertising. Yet, the tension between covering and revealing seems more like a cyclical variation. Things being perceived as explicit in 2012 are despaired and prudish compared to 1996 (Iggy Pop in plastic trousers) or 2004 (Janet Jackson's Nipplegate). We've come so far and still, topless men and visible nipples are scandalous shockers. Why don't we dare anymore?

Genitalization

Matthias Vriens Plug of Flesh, Dutch #40

Relicts of times and things that do not exist anymore. I remember the days when I explored those editorials. And I took them seriously. A valid recommendation, proposal, approval.
