BlogBack: "Mature Contents" at the St. Louis Contemporary
Jennifer Gaby, public relations manager at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, responds to The Vagina Dialogues: Clueless in St. Louis:
Thank you for sharing your post with me. The actual signage states, "The exhibition contains mature contents. Parental discretion advised." The gossip columnist at the newspaper obviously took some liberties when she wrote in the paper that our sign read, "Vagina Ahead," which never happened. Nor was it our intention to display such a sign.
We're pretty sure that the frontal nude drawing by Warhol is not a self portrait. We don't think the woman's image is an image of a person masturbating---but it IS a frontal nude image of a woman.
We appreciate both your attention to this matter, as well as your noting of the museum in your blog. Thank you for your support of the Contemporary.
Support? Jennifer, you're a good sport. I guess I should know better than to rely on the accuracy of gossip scribes. I do feel obligated to add that the vagina painter himself, Greg Edmondson, e-mailed me to say, "It's good to see this talked about."
What have I started? Enough salacious salvos.
Go out and celebrate Valentines Day. That's what CultureGrrl is about to do! (And none too soon, you might add.)
