The Museum of S*x is dedicated to the exploration of the history, evolution and cultural significance of human s*xuality.

We strive to give reason to emotion and understanding to our impulses. This is not a place for the expected: we are a kunsthalle, a cabinet of curiosities, a collection of the rare, repulsive, delicious, old, new, high, low, good and bad that serves as a barometer of contemporary culture. We encourage the simultaneous occupation of the city, the marketplace and the mind by presenting work that min

es the fringes of society and exposes our unique behaviors through the lens of the most fundamental human activity: s*x. This is more than a museum: We are an institution that believes in embracing society and existing beyond its walls. We promote organic growth and foster an entrepreneurial spirit that values original ideas. To do this, we seek the engagement and collaboration of fearless visionaries from all industries who challenge, stimulate and disrupt the status quo. Together we develop innovative events, exhibits, products and experiences that bring the best of current scholarship on s*x and s*xuality to the widest possible audiences.

𝕊𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕄𝕠𝕟𝕕𝕒𝕪 𝕄𝕠𝕥𝕚𝕧𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟 to come experience the evocative exhibition Self Power | Self Play by the fabulous Linda Troeller before it closes January 9th!
💗💃🏼📸
Linda Troeller's Self Power | Self Play insists and illustrates: we are all worthy of bodily liberation, autonomy, and pleasure.
✨🎞

✨
In Troeller’s unapologetic images, there is little sense of voyeurism or subject performativity for a gaze, male or otherwise. With great care, Troeller documents herself and her subjects in spaces of intimacy, s*xual awakening, and self-exploration. The selection of over sixty works in the exhibition spans six photographic series, realized between 1974 and 2022, displayed to highlight the dynamism of the images rather than in chronological order. Several portraits are accompanied by quotations from their sitters who were interviewed by Marion Schneider, a long-time collaborator on Troeller’s photo books including The Erotic Lives of Women (1998) and Or**sm: Interviews on Intimacy (2016). Many of Linda’s self-portraits are accompanied by her own stories, exemplifying a radical openness to self-reflection.

🎞️ 🍿 📽️

A lyrical sequel to Smith’s infamous FLAMING CREATURES (1962-63), which caught the unfavorable attention of American censors, NORMAL LOVE includes a cast of fantastical characters ranging from a mermaid, played by Warhol superstar Mario Montez—whose drag name was conceived in homage to the famous actresss—and a mummy, enacted by Angus MacLise, the original drummer for the New York band the Velvet Underground.

Linda Troeller. The Woman behind our latest exhibition. Self Power | Self Play: 50 years of Erotic Portraiture.
🤩 📸
"Troeller’s ongoing photographic practice confirms ecstasy as a human condition beyond the social constraints of shame and gender norms. These images evade culturally-constructed beauty and body ideals, conventions of age, expectations of “ladylike” behavior, and systemic patriarchal restrictions on women’s bodies more broadly. Self Power | Self Play insists and illustrates: we are all worthy of bodily liberation, autonomy, and pleasure."

The Museum of S*x is pleased to announce our newest exhibition 𝙎𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙋𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 | 𝙎𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙮: 50 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙀𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙋𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙗𝙮 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙖 𝙏𝙧𝙤𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙧. Will be opening tomorrow October 19, 2022!
📷 ✨ 👯‍♀️
For half a century, artist Linda Troeller (b. 1949) has used the camera as a tool for sensual empowerment. The first museum retrospective of Troeller’s work in New York City, 𝙎𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙋𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 | 𝙎𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙮 will feature over sixty erotic photographs on loan from the artist’s studio and Bryn Mawr College Special Collections which highlight her early commitment to challenging social taboos and exploring uninhibited s*xual identity. Informed by apprenticeships with major artists including Georgia O’Keeffe, Ansel Adams, and Annie Leibovitz in the 1970s and 80s, Troeller directs her lens to nature, water, and the bedroom, where she and her subjects relish in the power and play of the female-identifying body.
✨ ✨
The exhibition was co-curated by Emily Shoyer and Emily Alesandrini, with the assistance of Kayla Janae Smith. It was designed by Eunice Lee.

In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, we wanted to highlight the talented and evocative Alina Perez. Her piece The Disappearing Act is on display at F*CK ART 2022: The Body and its Absence until October 11th!
🎨🌸🫦
“ Alina Perez’s dynamic practice captures the depth and range of human experience through depictions of the n**e form, erotic encounters, and renderings of wounded subjects. Perez explores the intimacies of experience and memory in modes that are alternately provocative and unsettling. In a psychedelic swirl, The Disappearing Act is an erotic confrontation, a s*xual scene captured on paper. In this new work made specifically for F*CK ART, Perez is expansive in her command of scale, detail, and aura. Perez illustrates the act of fi***ng, one not commonly depicted in art and often considered to be obscene by conservative lawmakers, as a warm and affective experience visualized through her erotic female gaze. “

TIMES FOR is a larger entry into dream reality. An unfulfilled man renders himself to the unrealized sensuality of four women. In his drifting search he fails and fades in the same loneliness as the women. The film is the reality and a metaphor for the intensities of s*xual experience. "... His camera is a never-static instrument of his intrusion into the fantasy/reality of the relationships he is dealing with and forming .... TIMES FOR is one of the few erotic masterpieces." – program note, National Film Theatre, London

Pacifico Silano uses collage and photography to investigate the aftermath of the AIDS epidemic on q***r communities. After working at his parent’s s*x shop, “Undercover Pleasure”, in his teens, Silano sought to find meaning in erotica beyond p**nographic content. Silano uses images from his personal archive of over 300 p**n magazines to create large-scale tableaus, often increasing the scale of the original images to make them larger than life. By never showing the entirety of an image, Silano creates work that is obliquely erotic, always suggesting p**nographic action. This piece, Easy Rider, made specifically for F*CK ART, advances Silano’s idiom of honing in on details from vintage gay erotica to create new narratives of American masculinity that have been appropriated and fetishized by gay men. Here, the images explore the tension between violence and pleasure.

Easy Rider is now on view at F*CK ART 2022: The Body and its Absence at the Museum of S*x, curated by Eve Arballo and Emily Shoyer.

Alexandra Neuman

An “interdisciplinary reptile,” Alexandra Neuman exposes the causal relationship between patriarchal domination and climate crisis. Her filmic and installation piece on view, Semen Retention For A Better Tomorrow, integrates climate science, ecofeminism,and ta***ic alchemy to craft a speculative ethos for bodily and planetary healing. Centered in the film, the feminine body of the protagonist is made of the earth. In contrast, her masculine counterpart believes himself to be separate from the earth, making it so he cannot give or receive love. For Neuman, their chasmic interpersonal dynamic symbolizes the love-starved relationship between humans and nature. Semen Retention For A Better Tomorrow by Alexandra Neuman will be on display in F*CK ART 2022: The Body and its Absence alongside three of her other works: Tadpole (b.1993), Linear Progress, 2022, and mud (Merciful Undulating Destiny), 2022. F*CK ART 2022: The Body and its Absence is open to the public starting June 10, 2022. #F_CKART #F_CKART_TheBodyandItsAbsence #TheBodyandItsAbsence #MuseumofS*x #weekendexhibition #NYCEXHIBITIONOPENING

Our Story

We strive to give reason to emotion and understanding to our impulses. This is not a place for the expected: we are a kunstkammer, a cabinet of curiosities, a collection of the rare, repulsive, delicious, old, new, high, low, good and bad that serves as a barometer of contemporary culture. We encourage the simultaneous occupation of the city, the marketplace and the mind by presenting work that mines the fringes of society and exposes our unique behaviors through the lens of the most fundamental human activity: s*x. This is more than a museum: We are an institution that believes in embracing society and existing beyond its walls. We promote organic growth and foster an entrepreneurial spirit that values original ideas. To do this, we seek the engagement and collaboration of fearless visionaries from all industries who challenge, stimulate and disrupt the status quo. Together we develop innovative events, exhibits, products and experiences that bring the best of current scholarship on s*x and s*xuality to the widest possible audiences.
