This Saturday over at Regen Projects will be Marilyn Minter's "Mouth Series" and her "Pam Series" of Pam Anderson.
On view at Regen Projects II is a series the artist categorizes as the Mouth series, where tongues and lips lick, suck and drool candy-like substances. These works implicate the viewer as a voyeur in Minter's unattainable fantasy.
Also on view at Regen Projects II are paintings and photographs from the Pam series in which Pamela Anderson is the subject. Originally a project commissioned for Parkett Magazine, the artist works to obscure the distinction between art and advertising, using the language of both mediums to create a vocabulary that is her own. Portrayed in her natural state, the actress is depicted in an unconventional way. In Minter's works she is both vulnerable and glamorous.
You can see some of her images at the Regen site. I also google around a bit and found some interviews with her here and here.
I also found this video on YouTube of her show in New York earlier this year.
And here's a video clip with Marilyn Minter as done by MAC - ends at 1:45.
Opening Reception: October 24, 2009, 6-8pm
