Porno-Graphos
Installation at Printed Matter, New York and 911 Contemporary Arts and Resource Center, Seattle.

The third installation was based in the San Francisco’s group Coyote’s (Call Off Your Tired Old Ethics) statement of rights of sex workers that was prepared for the Meese Commission’s Federal pornography investigation. Enlarged copies of the statement covered the storefront window of Printed Matter, New York except for a rectangular peephole with a neon sign that read the text – “Porno-Graphos is the writing of harlots”-a sacred part of temple life in ancient Greece.

Materials:
Neon, and photocopies, 13’ x 20’ overall
Shown at:
911 Contemporary Art and Resource Center. Printed Matter, New York, NY.
