Whose Jizz is this? Sechs-u-ell: to make sense of the publication title, trust your college German and your phonetic ear. "Sexual," here, comprises the entire broad spectrum of what we associate with carnal pleasure. Lust, desire, ecstasy, repression, obsession -- the world of art, fashion, and design abounds with specimens of eroticism and sexuality in their infinite variety, shopworn stereotypes be damned. Looking back on the thorough revision of societys ideas about sexuality in the past three decades, the book inquires into how the works of visual artists, fashion creatives, and designers reflect todays public debates over biological and social gender roles, power structures, and sexual violence or the fading of taboos over sexual practices. With works and designs by Walter Van Beirendonck, Monica Bonvicini, Tracey Emin, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Jürgen Klauke, Peaches, Cindy Sherman, Kara Walker, Vivienne Westwood, and many more. This book documents a grand exhibition scheduled for the past summer at the GRASSI Museum of Applied Arts, Leipzig, which had to be canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Exhibition: GRASSI Museum für Angewandte Kunst, Leipzig, Germany (planned for Summer 2020; cancelled).
