The brilliantly-titled ‘Sit-Ins’ is an exhibition of prints that feature the posterior by Kembra Pfahler at Deitch Project.
The exhibit is exactly what you’d think it would be from reading the title. Pfahler dips her bum in paint and then sits on a bit of paper--artistically, mind you. This is repeated three times.
‘Sit-Ins’ bears a resemblance to Pfahler’s performance piece ‘Wall of Vagina,’ which featured colorfully painted naked girls piled on top of each other with their legs spread. I could not upload those images here for very obvious reasons, but trust me, there are lots of images.
