Just checked out www.queer-arts.org Made me realize that if everI did eventually want to explore issues of sexuality I'd probably want to do it through the visual arts. Much of gay poetry is unfortunately just a lot of mush. Although in gay art, one does have to plod through a lot of androgynous bodies, and pink cliches. Not to mention advocacies of a "liberated gay" lifestyle which are really just the latest versions of capitalist propaganda and heteresexual false-permissiveness.

I want art that shakes.... or swishes. hehe

Also watched a BBC special on Renaissance art. Topic for a future blog entry.

Good night!
