About This Show
After a nine year absence, porn star-turned-performance artist and sex scholar Annie Sprinkle makes her long-awaited return to Off-Broadway. Sprinkle, in collaboration with Elizabeth Stephens will present the East Coast premiere of Exposed: Experiments in Love, Sex, Death & Art. This new multimedia performance event is directed by Neon Weiss with media design/soundscape by Sheila Malone.
Move over Yoko and John, Sonny and Cher, Siegfried and Roy, and Gertrude and Alice. Annie and Beth are here! Exposed: Experiments in Love, Sex, Death & Art is a unique love story created in response to the violence of war and the anti-gay marriage movement. It examines issues of artificial insemination, famous breasts having breast cancer, queer relationships and much more. Mixing elements of pleasure, pain and passion, Exposed will stimulate the senses and crack hearts open.
Exposed: Experiments in Love, Sex, Death & Art is part of a seven year project by Sprinkle and Stephens to create art projects that celebrate love. Called the “Love Art Laboratory,” the project is aimed at promoting peace and equal rights. Inspired by artist Linda Montano’s Fourteen Years of Living Art, each year is assigned a theme and a color and it begins with a performance art wedding. The project began December 18, 2004 with a by-invitation-only wedding at Collective: Unconscious. It was here that they took formal vows to become “love art collaborators,” as well as committed domestic partners. The project evolves as their lives together unfold.
