anatomy related
For a few years I taught
Anatomia Artistica at the Accademia di Belle Arti (Milan, Rome and Florence)
and for this reason have collected so much information regarding the
human body not only in terms of bones & muscles,
but also in terms of the body's use in art (ex. Body Art) as well as
the rapport mind & body.

skin hunger

Skin
hunger is a documented physiological condition
-- I realize that since I rarely tan anymore, I'm
also not touching myself like I used to do - every time I applied
the lotion all over my body before and after tanning, I was providing
myself with a tactile stimulation that was probably good for me--Someone
wrote about the need to
just be touched. I'm in that phase now-- "Skin
hunger" describes an emotional and physical sensation these people
experience when they go for too long without a certain something that
many of us take for granted: touch--The
human being thrives on touch. An enormous amount of research has been
done in recent years, on both human beings and animals, in regards to
touch. The results show that lack of touch ("cutaneous
deprivation") can lead, not only to emotional disturbances but
also, to a lessened intellectual ability and physical growth, reduced
sexual interest, and even a weakness of the immune system--Skin
hunger is well known in the world of infants. Lack of skin contact
gives rise to depression and death--I
am now paying someone to physically touch me on a more regular basis--Cutaneous
senses-- the Skin and its receptors--entry found for skin
senses--The Sensory
Systems-- The
skin is the largest sense organ, with numerous nerve receptors distributed
in varying concentrations throughout its surface. The nerve fibers from
these receptors travel to the brain--Cutaneous
senses respond to: pressure, vibration, heating, cooling and noxious
(painful) stimuli--somatosenses provide information about what is happening
on the surface of our body and inside it. Cutaneous senses, or skin
senses--Tactual psychophysics

Japanese
erotic art is generally regarded as reaching a peak during the Edo
period--Beauty and Desire in Edo
Period Japan--Shunga: the Art of Love
in Japan--The chonin culture revolved around the
entertainment areas of Edo — the Yoshiwara brothel district and the
Kabuki theatres. Obsessed with the ideal of feminine beauty, townsmen
looked to their artists to express these desires through the depiction
of beautiful women dressed in the height of fashion. Sex became the new
religion of the chonin and their goddess the courtesan of the Yoshiwara--shunga
art and india--JAPANESE SHUNGA
SCROLL FROM THE PERIOD 1875--Often printed as tiny booklets called "pillow
books", SHUNGA art also
served as teaching guides for the sons and daughters of the Japanes bougeoisie.
From the paintings they learned the art of foreplay, sexual positioning,
and proper hygiene.--the traditional Japanese Erotic Art known as shunga,
or the "Images of Spring".....

Her house itself is an art environment worthy of a museum. Every surface is covered with objects made from recycled just-about-everything. Birds and flowers cut from the green or white styrofoam that fruit and vegetables come in; a bird house made with packaging from a VCR, the birds once pieces of a yellow foam mattress, the flowers round cut-out bottoms from an egg carton; a family of baby dolls made from painted detergent, soap, and bleach bottles; an assemblage of almost-naked Barbie dolls floating on a sea of glitter; a smiling-faced woman made of a stuffed surgical glove, drawn with whimsical magic markers. Why does she do this? "The Lord told me to!"

Drainspotting is all about paying attention to your surroundings. Manhole covers, drains, grates, trench covers--someone had to design all of these. Functional and ornamental, there's a lot of interesting stuff happening down by your feet---tekenlog visual art diary--babette wagenvoort---

"Functional Art is the blending of form, function, sculpture and fine art. All of these disciplines may be called upon to create original objects ranging from the most comfortable to the most conceptual, from the baroque to minimalist. As our artists work often include sculpture and paintings, we will now be exhibiting that work as well."
