Besides, if this guy is gonna do some girls from below, find some with nice thighs and some booty. flat assed, salad tong legged white girls just dont give me that lift I enjoy.</description>

		<description>Is there a reason for him having 20 images in one? Any symbolism behind that number? Thoughts?</description>

		<description>donald, you are really boring. go away and make more bad art. richard kern is in person, very nice. his work is nothing like it used to be but hey, there are very few people who could so obviously abuse their status as artists to make girls (in this case) take off their clothes and have such pervy photos taken.(larry clark ding ding)  I look forward to seeing it though. 
Zach- i really like your site</description>

		<description>Conventional wisdom—and Art History 101—tells us to consider the POV of the artist, and in the case of Upskirts it’s that of a naughty little boy looking up a lady’s dress. It seems like all of Kern’s work in the Feature show are from this pre-adolescent perspective. Also, it’s hard to look at Upskirts and not be reminded of Courbet’s The Origin of the World, but with a Warholian, soft-core, catalogue bent.

Besides their titles and gallery context, I don’t find much difference between Kern’s photos and stock-imagery for many an “alternative” publications, the sort where images of pretty young women drooling toothpaste, pissing, and affectedly getting their anti-fashion vamp on is just business as usual. If this stuff infuriates and/or titillates, it’s low-level and ubiquitous—which leads me to guess that Kern is well aware of the generic smuttiness of his work, if not its continued marketability, and consequently is as complicit as cake. First-wave feminists have adequately dealt with these kinds of images (which are freighted &#38; fraught), but in the end we’re just recycling banality.</description>

		<description>Actually, I dont find it sexy at all.  As a VERY virile and heterosexual male, reknowned in basketball circles for his fine black women, I see nothing arousing about this at all. And not pornographic. but like most art these days, its a fetish. Into anorexic girls with no vitality, and underwear. For me, the best underwear is that which comes off the quickest.

This is for voyeurs with sexual performance issues. No hot blooded hetero would be turned on by this at all. Even porno sites would turn away, they got much more agressive works, and far better looking women. Models are waifs these days, belemic and boring. Hetero males are attracted to fertility, youth, vigor, sexuality. I see none. So not really porno. But a sub set of sexually impoverished boys with Napoleon complexes.  

Just weird, and certainly not art. Erotic can be great, if handled in a way that strikes more than just the groin region. Sexuality is part of who we are, and a legitimate subject. But not in the hands a of a perv, with performance issues. 

Boring, actually.
