Art & Porn
Kunsthal Charlottenborg presents in collaboration with ARoS the group exhibition Art & Porn. The exhibition presents the development in art from the 60s legalization of visual pornography to the current fourth-wave feminism, and highlights how art is influenced by changing the law on pornography. What are the implications when the boundaries of what citizens may be faced with in public spaces change from one day to the next? Further information here.
