| Just this past week, I put a ‘Missed Connections’ ad on Craigslist after making meaningful eye contact with a handsome chap. I didn’t really expect anything to come of it. But there were a few nice replies of the “I am not him, but I did laugh at your ad” variety, and then it happened: a dick pic. The fellow in question sent no other identifying information or chat save for said photo of his knob standing to attention as he lay in a rather barren room.
(There was one other bloke who at least had the decency to offer me “30 quid” if I was free to give him a foot job.)
Not really knowing what to do, I simply replied “Put it away, mate!” and deleted the email, but if happenings in New York’s Bushwick this week are any indication, perhaps I should have filed it away as material for an art show - because that’s what the “artists” behind Show Me More: A Collection of DickPix did.
“Four artists interested in feminism, the internet, sex, porn, and power have decided that the dick pics they've gathered are important enough to share with the public,” Vice’s coverage of the exhibition runs. “Over 300 men who have engaged in a little harmless online exhibitionism sending this summer may be surprised to learn that their members will mounted, framed, and put on display on August 23 at a Brooklyn gallery space by an artist collective known as Future Femme. The group is hoping to turn the tables on this mind-boggling male habit.”
