The Curatorial Team is composed of six members equally representing the interests of the Bad Art Good Sex™, local arts community leaders, and the wider international art world at large.

Two members from the Board of Directors, two representatives of the community at large, and two member artists reflecting a broad cross–section of the international visual arts community in its multifaceted variety of training and practice.

Bad Art Good Sex™ thanks the Curatorial Team for their time and work in assessing Submissions and Proposals and for scheduling monthly and yearly events.

Testimonials


ON THE PROFUSION OF BAD ART…

Popular (designed for a mass audience) / transient (short–term solution) / expendable (easily forgotten) / low cost/ mass produced/ young (aimed at youth) / witty / sexy / gimmicky / glamorous / big business…
– Richard Hamilton in the 50's

The quality of visual art has declined over the last fifteen years.
– Don Judd, 1981

Today, an artist's only popular triumph and free act is suicide.
– Alan Bloom, 1987

The art world is no more about art than the sports world is about sport.
– Dave Hickey, 1997

The profusion of art (bad) being made is daunting... Much of our current work recalls a slew of antecedents; especially apparent are the various strategies and modes of Fluxus, Process art, Conceptualism, and Post–Minimalism.
– What's New?, Elizabeth Baker, 2012

The art world (is) resigned to the aesthetic of endless redux.
– How Newness Enters the Art World, Eleanor Heartney, 2012

ON GOOD SEX…

Fucking is more important than philosophy.
– Bertrand Russell

What holds the world together, as I have learned from better experience, is sexual intercourse.
– Henry Miller

Cicciolina uses her body in the way another artist uses a paintbrush or a chisel.
– Jeff Koons

"Everyone thinks I should be so happy, fucking all the time: they are right!"
– Iggy Pop

Excuse me, I'm just going to go find an ATM…
– The Dude to Bunny Lebowski

Today's museums can–show–anything… so long as it is sprinkled with nude performers.
– French gallerist–writer François Piron via NYTimes critic Roberta Smith
