Blurb About Jeff Faerber's Berlin Group Show

Erotic Signature and BeateUhseEroticaMuseum present
“ARTundressed”
Absolutely classy erotic art

The Beate Uhse Erotica Museum Berlin will be hosting the international exhibition “ARTundressed” presented by Erotic Signature. This exhibition of contemporary erotic art will open with a private viewing on 19 September and run until 18 October. Germany’s only Erotica Museum will thus be the third stop in the tour of ARTundressed, following its opening in Miami in May and its visit to Montreal. Together with INASAJA Gallery, the museum will provide a stylish backdrop for “Modern Art for the Open-Minded”. The artists’ works are multifaceted, humorous, bold, eccentric, passionate and expressive, and have something for everyone, whether art enthusiast, connoisseur, fetish fan, or follower of alternative or sexy lifestyles. Everyday erotica has also by no means been neglected. Erotic art is often not taken entirely seriously and viewed as not being sufficiently respectable to be seen as “real” art. By presenting the world’s best erotic art, Erotic Signature aims to challenge this misconception.

The ARTundressed exhibition is an impressive collection of erotic artworks resulting from “the World’s Greatest Erotic Art of Today” competition; now the largest of its kind in the world, launched by Erotic Signature on the internet. Every year, Erotic Signature sets out to find talent, whether completely unknown or already established. A top-class international jury chooses winners in the categories of Fine Art, Sculpture, Photography and Digital Art, and awards prizes of US$ 15,000 to the six best contributions. The best 200 works of art from the competition are also published in the self-titled book “The World’s Greatest Erotic Art of Today”, the second edition of which has recently been released. ARTundressed shows numerous works from both editions and presents the winners of the 2006 and 2007 competitions. Both editions can be bought at the Beate Uhse Erotica Museum.

In summary: ARTundressed draws on erotic art, music, fashion and entertainment to display the “desire-laden beauty of the erotic”. It is this combination which makes the exhibition unique and makes a visit to the Beate Uhse Museum a fulfilling artistic experience.
