Femina Potens Beauty: July’s “Thin Line Between Art and Sex”

by Violet Blue on July 10, 2010

Femina Potens might just be one of the most happening and significant art spaces in the United States. Seriously. And not just because the central them is sexuality: this space is a movement, an intersection for art and thought, and an evolution in the space between artist and art, subject and object, old models of gallery and immersion of the viewer. I stop in now and then because it’s in the neighborhood, and I try to go to every event I’m invited to. I deeply regret that I failed to RSVP properly for the most recent event, shown here in photos: July’s “Thin Line Between Art and Sex.” In short, the premise is a very extravagant, personally passionate, private party at Kink’s castle exclusively for Femina Potens members that is photographed and illustrated by artists.

I really wish I had gone to it! I found a big gallery of photos here (sign-in required + Safe Search off); I cherry-picked favorites that can be seen after the jump. They feature Madison Young, James Mogul, and many more you may recognize. It’s luscious, decadent, dreamy and other-worldly.

If you ever get a chance to support Femina Potens, please do. Images by outstanding photographer Julia Comita (juliacomita.com) and SF Photo Arts (here’s a great interview with SF Photo Arts).
