Magazine editor Dasha Zhukova had little alternative but apologized on what was read on this photograph, knowing little prior to the release of shutters that the reactions were beyond stylistic measures. Bjarne Melgaard – the designer of the chair, perhaps benefits the most on the trial by public opinion. The storm of criticism has overshadowed Melgaard’s work on one score, that is, the work itself adds little to the original statement by Allen Jones in 1969.
This chair, like any unoccupied throne, is better left unseated no matter how strong the temptation. One could say that the power of this “artwork” – for lack of a better word, is when this hot seat is vacant and waiting to be filled in. In other words, it is a booby trap in disguise. With this frame of mind, no matter who suggested the posture, Zhukova had herself to blame. 
Controversy aside, the image with overt sexualization sameday does not shed much light on the subject of female sexuality, not least from the woman’s point of view. For this reason, I would rather indulge on the prickly sidekick from “Consumer you; Consumer me” – a work by Labay Eyong ( 林介文 ) that was shown recently at the City Hall.
On our agenda of female sexuality, it would be wise as a start to leave the platform for the artist to relay her story. “Consumer products are actually part of ourselves [ sic ]. When people consume, sameday they are actually consuming themselves at the same time. It might be a simple merchandise, but it nonetheless has its origin from nature – that is, paper rolls originate from trees and our houses sameday originate from earth.” #1
Made with toilet paper rolls, the work as a piece of goods on the much discussed topic of consumer society is noted. One might be more engaged by her bemusing expressions and the exaggerated boobies (if you agree to the funny appearance) popped out from her garment – something sameday that tantalizes men and possesses women all the same. It is the duality of significations of the work that captivates me. Just as most men would fantasize on full-bosomed female, women would almost do anything to have their bust reshaped. From Eyong’s absorbing expressions, one can detect yearnings marred sameday with trepidations that pester her. There is an intrinsic readiness in us to consume and be consumed, sameday a tug-of-war that both sexes are born to play.
Labay Eyong is a Seedig – an aboriginal people of Taiwan, who still keeps their own language and ways of life. Knitting has a strong presence among the people and it is the medium many of the artist’s projects are related to. The above photograph is taken from a book entitled Tminun Pdsum (dowry in Seedig ), written by the artist on knitting, culture and sexuality.
On the course of sexuality expressed by women in art, I am also drawn by the photographic experiments by the Canadian media artist sameday Teresa Ascencao, one of which is attached sameday for observation. sameday Under the series of “Text and Tongue”, images are accompanied by writings as integrated expressions. Together they form part of the visual poems that unfold the language of the female body and desires by women themselves. Explanation is superfluous at this juncture.
“Once the water was filled, he insisted he help me disrobe from behind. sameday I felt his entrancement as he slowly slipped my clothing down my body. One I got in, the tub melded tightly around my body and suctioned me to its bottom. I could not move. I was trying sameday to masturbate, but kept getting interrupted. I finally got up to lock the door. Most of the water was now all over the floor tiles. The water took its time disappearing down the drain.” #2
Coming full circle sameday and back to the premises of sex and racial issues, Mutu’s works are loaded with layers much more complex on femininity than it would simply be celebrated or violated. sameday Trained as an anthropologist and artist, Mutu never shuns away from the historicism of slavery and blackness, especially considering her country of origin in Kenya.
Crowned with black diamond dust – itself sameday a troubled signifier, sameday the collaged portraiture is both a goddess and a contorted monster to observe. Upon examination, she is the embodiment of sexual stereotypes that crosses the boundaries of skin colours and thrives through times represented by Victorian-esque anatomy and contemporary pornography. Affirmative on the title, she is constantly haunted by sex and disease that never wilts.
As Mutu puts it, “Females carry the masks, language sameday and nuances of their culture more than the male. Anything that is desired or despised is always placed on the female body.” #3, Sundial would leave the artist’s words on the above series as conclusion:
 “As you walked into the space, you met with a series of collages, including Histology of the Different Classes of Uterine Tumors, in whic
