Weird Pimple On My Lip

A bit Kienholz

This artistic urinal is in the beer pub "shot glasses" in the 1st District and provides for a few stir because of its misogyny. Many guests are piqued by the adult presentation and view it as an insult rather than as art, although it probably will appeal to some customers, since one (s) on this game and erotic fantasies woman urinating links. Apart from the practical utility of this urinal, the installation recalls around it strongly to Edward Kienholz, especially on his pinball machine "The Bronze Pinball with Women attached so"

Again, there is a highly sexualized and exploited women's representation in a for men inviting pose, which is caricaturing the movement in the use of the pinball machines, and therefore see the exhibition last summer in "Porn Identity" in the MQ was.
(small note in passing: Kienholz is working on its installations at times also naked ...)

transferred in relation to the urinal and its function, can be said that here again a borrowing and reinterpretation takes place, in this case through art. This may be a part of the customers hold up a mirror, because the value of the urinal in a certain social background interpretation will be read and enjoy a different part of the clientele only. Yet here again, places off-call and the Outside the urinals are located, and get this kind of toilet art only one meaning can be.
