Erotic Art is one of the earliest artistic expressions in history. And it was one of the most common ones too until modern times if we exeptuate medieval Europe and its evolution.
Throughout the world, or may be more precisely, throughout the non Christian or Catholic world, our sexuality was worshiped and part of daily life in a very sane way
Pleasure and reproduction were different aspects of our life and nothing no one should be ashamed of. Even more in many cultures pleasure and orgasms were a mean through which one could access a closer encounter with the divinity. Hence it was part of culture in a way Western Civilization couldn’t experience until recent times –in terms of history- when we assisted a Sexual revolution during the 70s. It means not that before it was not there, it just implies that it was a taboo matter, an unspoken act, something we didn’t talk openly.
It shouldn’t be a surprise then to have such a broad and varied collection of antique erotic art –paintings, books, sculptures, carvings, etc- from almost every non Western civilization.
These were made not only with "educational" purposes, but in most of the cases as a celebration to a powerful and energetic moment of sociality and human divinity. The enjoyment of sexuality is –together with labor- a specific feature of the human race; no other animals in our planet have the joy of sex and erotism separated from reproducing the specie.
Made out of any material available in the surrounding ecosystem these erotic art works are cultural expressions of the way other societies love, enjoy and know their bodies, they way these ethnic groups share emotive moments and how they bond with their bodies.
This side to erotic art is may be what many people consider its anthropological face, being primal and most important the decorative and aesthetic value of the items.
To others, the value –besides the monetary price to the items in question- relies on the fact that these are not only beautiful art pieces but also very sensual and stimulating to many senses.
All and all, together with antique and modern non western civilization erotic art, in these modern days western civilization has began to catch up on the matter. At this point it’s important to differentiate modern erotic art from pornography, and state that in this case we are not considering any kind of film, for in many cases the line that sets apart one from the other is thin and subjective. And when we address erotic art we specifically aim to consider sculptures and paintings, engravings and these sorts of art forms were the explicit aspect is not what separates one form of sexual expression from the other, but the artistic quality of the item.
In these days sexuality remains a controversial matter in spite of the fact that we are a long way apart from the early Victorian days. And artists of all kinds and ages (it’s implicit, and now explicit, we refer to adult artists) combine not only their own personal artistic abilities but their own sexual sensitivity, and for they share so much of themselves in these works it has become a highly appreciated art form.
For the matter is so rich and controversial we have began to work on a series of articles on the history of erotic art that will help us clarify a bit the evolution of this art form, it’s social and cultural implications and it’s place within our modern world culture and art scene.

In this occasion we feel it’s important to explore a specific kind of cultural manifestation, that of the bohemian off limits, street-like art. It has grown greatly during the last couple of years at the time it has become one true cultural attraction within the city. Puppeteers, painters, musicians, actors, clowns, mimes, poets, dancers, and all sorts of plastic artists fill the streets with art related significant performances that offer an alternative approach to the world of sensitivity and creativeness in post millennium Buenos Aires. Indeed there’s a strong social, economical and political factor that pushes upon these street performances most of them excluded from the official, as well as the underground circuit.[1] From the deep economic and social crisis that hit our nation back in the late days of 2001 raising to the top the unemployment rate at the time the traditional income provider salaries and jobs became depressed, a new perspective emerged as many artists and bohemians -feeling their known world of social participation was collapsing- chose to follow their passion; and with the aid of their creativity and whit they began to develop alternative “jobs” where to combine their passion with the possibility of earning a living. Buenos Aires public transport options: subway, train and busses became mobile theatres for flash shows –as long as it takes the subway to go from a stop to the other is a possible time gap measure that has led us to describe them as flash shows. Improvisations in the underground, folk and rock n’roll live music on the trains, pop music aboard a bus have become a new and interesting feel of what was until recently, a boring ride to or from work.On the other hand, trademark streets and walks such as Florida and Plaza Dorrego have transformed into open air dance studios where tango shows take place daily and especially during the weekend. While traffic lights and cross roads turn into momentary circuses for juggling acts, fire and acrobatics as well as clown quick shows that entertain the drivers. Along with these fine arts public shows we can also point out an intensive growth of street art throughout the city’s walls. From traditional punk style graffiti’s to stencil art with deep social and political connotations, the walls of Buenos Aires have become a huge canvass for a large portion of society that in need of cultural expression chose to explore alternative elements and “show rooms”, addressing a new and little explored audience of the masses, those who never, or unusually frequent museums, show rooms, theatres and cultural environments of such style. All and all, the borderline art in the Argentine society has also created its institutions and schools were to turn to for instruction, education, discussion and group work balance. One of the most interesting facets within this institutionalized world is the Mime School of Buenos Aires, located in San Telmo, as well as the ever growing clown schools. While these last institutions developed and grew in a gray area between the trendy underground alternative exercise world and the conceptual area of clown as a social manifestation; the first one was an avant-garde institution born in the early 1976 dictatorship years. Buenos Aires Mime School Parakultural grew to become a resistance environment to the censorship prevalent at the time against all cultural and social expressions. Today, over 26 years after the Mime School was born and under completely different situations we assist the birth of a broad and eclectic un-institutionalized public domain art trend in constant evolution. We should care upon a follow up regarding this post modern counter cultural trend in growth in our country.
[1] While official art scene work is mainly preserved for an exclusive line of recognized artists, the underground art world is no longer an alternative breakthrough stepping stone. For the trend and style of post modern world is to be off limits, the underground world has began to walk through a path of institutionalizing and new underground options are now being developed... street art being one of those stepping stones.

MNBA
The Museum and a bit of its History. The National Museum of Fine Arts, known in Spanish as el Museo de Bellas Artes, and by its initials, MNBA. The Building is located on the Avenue of the Liberator number 1473 in the Recolecta area, of the City of Buenos Aires. The building dates from 1870 and in what was once used and known as the old House of Pumps, building that was owned and run as part of the water works of the neighbourhood Recoleta and by the Sanitary Works of the Nation, OSN.
Inaugurated on the 23 of May of 1933, with the presence of the then President of the Nation, Agustin P Justo and with the help of the Association of Friends of the Museum, that had been created the 22 of October of 1931. From its inauguration to the present days, the museum has been modernized and updated with several reforms. In 1961 a new Pavilion was added.

Art and the End of the World.
The end of the world, more precisely, the fabulous Ushuaia in the province of the Land of Fire in Argentina is currently hosting one of the biggest art events in these days. The 1st. Biennial of the End of the World is a one of a kind art show organized by Argentine and Brazilian artists that takes place at the beginning of the International Polar Year. The objectives of this awesome international show is to artistically join both ends of the Earth in real time, by means of an electronic station located in Ushuaia and others in the North of Canada and Finnish Lapland, and make a statement thru means of the words of art and aesthetics. At a time when the world is changing and transforming because of the impact of men’s doings, art finds its way thru this event to make a statement in terms of ethics, ecology and technology. The source for these creators can be found in a never-ending transformation that our world is going thru, triggering their needs to find new languages adequate to describe the coming realities.
Surrounded by a breathtaking landscape that seems to be rapidly changing because of the impact of the human evolution, this Biennial aims to present a broad range of perspectives and points of view on our world, its present and its future.
See Photo Gallery:
The San Juan de Salvamento lighthouse at the very end of the city which marked one of the area’s turning points, when it was first conquered and occupied by intrepid travelers and explorers, together with the remains of several shipwrecks –amongst the most famous ones is the one of the German ship Monte Cervantes- are historical monuments to men’s doings and its complicated tie with Nature. Standing upon the ground and deep Antarctic waters, dating from the times in which the storms and lack of knowledge of the area taught men to respect Nature and fear the destruction of the environment, these “monuments” are a concept that’s being retaken by the Organizers of the Biennial, respect our world, cherish it, get to know it, don’t destroy it. They state “It is our belief that Contemporary Art offers the very tools to impact on the engaged audience’s emotions and sensitivity, and it also serves as an appropriate vehicle for deepening the understanding of our conflicting world of today.”
The show that’s currently taking place in the faraway location of Ushuaia will get to Buenos Aires on September 5th, when the organizers would show once again, but now in a different location, the San Martin Palace, the complex and outstanding art statement.
Leonor Amarante, of Brazil, and Corinne Sacca Abadi, of Argentina are the curators of the show.
The Biennial of the End of the World gatheres together artists from Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Denmark, Ecuador, USA, Spain, Finland, Mexico, Norway, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, Venezuela and Uruguay.
Among the renamed artists that take part in this event we can name the following:: Kcho (Cuba), Grupo Bijari (Brazil), Eija-Lisa Ahtila (Finland), Gonzalo Dias (Chile), Santiago Sierra (Spain), Caio Reisewitz (Brazil), BGL Group (Canada), Gabriel Guaraci (Brazil), Luis F. Benedit, Guillermo Kuitca, Charly Nijensohn, Grupo Aavra, Fabiana Barreda, Grupo fin del mundo, Horacio Zabala, Karina el Azem, Ivan Calmet, Paula Senderowicz, Mónica Alvarado, Andrea Juan, Alicia Herrero, Graciela Sacco and Alfredo Londaibere from Argentina.
