Below the belt exhibition





Below the Belt is a exhibition about feminism but created by all male artist, what I find really interesting as I haven't really seen artists do this before as you don't really see a man who is a feminist. The exhibition night was full of people and there was a great atmosphere with people drinking and discussing art. I especially liked how they exhibited the work on International Men's day to set a statement. 

Some pictures from the event

Karl Sims, Crucifixion, 2014

Ryan Smith, 7 kg's of carrots, 2014

I found the work that was on show was really interesting and unusual. 

 Performance piece Fruit Orgy, Karl Sims, 2014




The performance piece was fantastic, there was a great atmosphere of everybody gathering outside the exhibition to see the piece through the shop window. No one knew what to expect because for quite a while there was just men in suits eating fruit, but then it turned, they chucked fruit at each other at the walls and destroyed the room they was in covering both the windows and the walls with fruit, it was fantastic and funny to watch. I would of just liked a description before the piece to tell you what the piece was actually about fully. But still a great exhibition.
