Another Artillery issue is out. For some reason, this was particularly hard to complete. I think working through the holidays was the challenging factor. But, it's out there now, and I'm damn proud of it. It's our sex issue, and what could be more fun. 

While putting the issue together (and I talk about this in my editor's letter), I began to notice an infinity of sexual material in the art world. And I see it more and more now. When it was decided to do the sex issue, it seemed hard-pressed to find artists working with sex now. My contributors came to me with the usual suspects: Tom of Finland, Annie Sprinkle, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Paul McCarthy. Those were no-brainers.  Now, with the sex issue out, it's like a sexual revolution, in the art world.

I'd like to ponder on sex in art for a while now. It's been a subject I've been attracted to for some time. I did a lecture on pornography and art in my graduate seminar. I've included sexual content in my own work. But I abandoned it because of embarrassment. No one else was doing it at the time (at least in my circle), and my professors were flummoxed (imagine!). And I'm not talking the Stone Ages people. I'm talking late '80s. 

To be continued. And pick up a new copy of Artillery.
