Latin Visions: The Sensual & Erotic ART WALK, sponsored by The Lifestyles Organization and is part of the 2nd Lifestyles International Convention, is the most comprehensive survey of a remarkably dynamic and growing body of work. This survey demonstrates that a sense of identity and cohesion has been created by contemporary artist living and working in Mexico. In the past few decades, Mexican artists have emerged as powerful agents of change and a new social drive for freedom of expression.
“Erotic artwork is the clearest and most accurate mirror of a given period,” said XART Gallery Director Luis De La Cruz. “Critics will of course expend much energy and effort in arguing the erotic or artistic qualities of the work in question. What they are in fact asking is how we distinguish between pornography and art when there is a match of content: nothing but sex in both. Our argument is that it is due to the conjuncture of the pornographic with the erotic that the artwork enjoys such insistent acclaim, and that the arguments for its aesthetics “in spite” of its pornographic qualities reveal the fundamental investments of art.”
There seems no doubt that contemporary erotic art may be proof that the artist is integrating in society. Actually, such artists look for just one thing -to attract attention - Latin Visions The Sensual & Erotic ART WALK gives us in exchange the most profound ethical message.
The Press and Media (credentials required) is invited to a Special Preview and Reception to be the first to witness this extraordinary exhibition on Wednesday September 28, 2005 between 5:00 -7:00 p.m. at The City Hall of Puerto Vallarta then walk to the galleries and join us for a special celebration and Concert at The Cuale Island Art Center at 10:00 p.m.
