Buy my book!But art museums in Vienna have found a clever way to display their nude collections online without tripping any alarms or threatening their museum accounts: Starting an OnlyFans account. The Vienna Tourist Board, working on the museums’ behalf, is now displaying nude art on the platform, which is mostly used by sex workers.
Vienna museums move NSFW images to OnlyFans
It’s absolutely wild to display works of art, they need to be moved to a platform synonymous with sex work.
…make some great art!
After dinner earlier this week, my wife saw some art work in display from local schools in the mall where we ate. We had a few minutes before closing so we went to check out what the kids were up to.
There was some really cool artwork. There are some insanely talented young artists in the area. And it’s good to see their work being displayed in public. I can only imagine how exciting it is to go to the mall with your parents and see your painting or project hanging there.
We saw a ton of work from local Elementary and Middle schools. Each school or class had work based on a theme. For the younger kids, it was a book or certain style. I remember seeing a whole wall of giraffes after a book the kids read. They were a lot of fun.
The older kids had some breath-taking paintings and some low-poly art, a personal favorite of mine. There was one artist in particular whose portrait of Marilyn Manson was astounding. This girl has a future ahead of her.
We used our 15 minutes before mall security ushered us towards the door. There was so much more to see since there are so many schools in our county. This is always weird to me, since I grew up in a county with two elementary schools, one middle school and one high school.
Seeing more than a dozen displays from elementary aged was exciting for the depth and variety of artwork on display. The same goes for the middle-schoolers. There were so many things I never knew existed when I was their age. So many art styles made possible by computers and techniques I didn’t learn about until years later.
I’m happy to see such a rich art education in the local schools. There are some great art teachers in the area and they’re doing good work.
I love public art installations. They’re so much fun especially when you stumble across them unexpectedly. As I did with one at the Food and Drugs Administration’s offices in Silver Spring, MD (where I recently started working.) There is a whole part of the building covered in people. Tiny, plastic people.
It’s a beautiful exhibit I’m happy to be able to see in person so the least I can do is share these photos of it with you. This display is part of the GSA’s Art in Architecture program. This one is from Do Ho Suh.
