No references found | Phalli appeared in force at Rosen as well, popping up everywhere in a gallery set as a cold garden of unearthly delights--these and other sculpted bits of human anatomy (which the artist referred to as "souvenirs") populated an array of flower beds, birdcages, and terrarium-like vitrines, often paired with unexpected found objects and arrangements of mutant flora. Chichen Itzas and Uxmal's oldest ruins have entire temples and courtyards of phalli coming out of the ground and hanging off the walls-apparently used as waterspouts. Picasso's erotic sketches are a clear referent, so too the dreamlike transmogrifications of the Surrealists: Knees look like nipples, bottoms like bosoms, noses like phalli. |
