WOLFPACK! Photographs by Walt Cessna Book & Calendar Launch
HTTP://FIERTH.COM – A heady mix of the erotic, the sublime and the seemingly everyday, Walt’s new work, WOLFPACK!, sees him share the most intimate of moments with an eclectic array of model subjects and translate these experiences into photographs that both shock and seduce the senses. Like a shorn and inked Pied Piper with a camera and a creative hard-on, Walt leads us through the pulsating roar of the city, the throb and hum of the candy neon-spilled streets, the clang of strangers shifting in stairwells and into the silent sanctuary of the lover’s bedroom where we’re aware that anything can happen. And it does.

GLAAD Interviews Scott Pasfield Creator of GAY IN AMERICA
HTTP://FIERTH.COM – Aaron McQuade: Where did the idea for this book come from?
Scott Pasfield: People always tell you to shoot what you love. You have to start with yourself. The epiphany came one night at home. I was surfing the web and realized what a powerful tool it had become for connecting gay men across the country, from all over, and it just dawned on me. I decided that I would meet men from every state, and photograph them in the hopes that I could do a book that would change opinions and educate. And that started with shooting who I was and what my passions were. -

Complex Shit goes on the runs
HTTP://FIERTH.COM – From the early days, conceptual art, like Duchamp’s urinal and Manzoni’s canned shit, has always courted controversy. But it hasn’t actually caused chaos — until now.
The harmonious landscaped gardens of the Zentrum Paul Klee museum in Berne, Switzerland, have been home for the past few months to what might possibly be the largest piece of crap art ever made. American artist Paul McCarthy has created a giant inflatable dog turd, the size of a house, entitled Complex Shit.

Bouquet of Bodies
http://fierth.com – Cecelia Webber uses photos of the naked human body to create beautiful images of bouquets of flowers. Her work consists of only the naked human body, often her own, photographed in the most peculiar of positions then painstakingly overlaid using Photoshop to form the familiar shapes of petals, stamen and stem. So familiar the shapes are and so acutely formed that at first glance it is hard to tell that you’re looking at naked people!

STUDDING THE INTERN - We were really excited this week when we got a new line of men’s clothing in called Stud Muffin from New York designer Kyle Brincefield. So excited, in fact, that we decided to dress our intern, Tyler, in the studded garb. Tyler is a sweet young gentleman from Kentucky, who just moved here January 1st. So of course we loved seeing him in the studded shorts, vest, and mask. We put him in a pair of patched up underwear by Tom-Tom… just because we could :)

what to do, what to do…
“This bold, globe-spanning survey is the first book to thoroughly explore the radical, long-standing interdependence between art and homosexuality. It draws examples from the full range of the Western tradition, including classical, Renaissance, and contemporary art, with special focus on the modern era. It was in the modern period, when arguments about homosexuality and the avant-garde were especially public, that our current conception of the artist and the homosexual began to take shape, and almost as quickly to overlap. Not a chronology of gay or lesbian artists, the book is a fascinating and sophisticated account of the ways two conspicuous identities have fundamentally informed one another.
Art and Homosexuality discusses many of modernism’s canonical figures—painters like Courbet, Picasso, and Pollock; writers like Whitman and Stein—and issues, such as the rise of abstraction, the avant-garde’s relationship to its patrons and the political exploitation of art. It shows that many of the core ideas that define modernism are nearly indecipherable without an understanding of the paired identities of artist and homosexual. Illustrated with over 175 b/w and color images that range from high to popular culture and from Ancient Greece to contemporary America, Art and Homosexuality punctures the platitudes surrounding discussions of both aesthetics and sexual identity and takes our understanding of each in stimulating new directions.”
