Porn, Porn, Porn brings together: Armin Boehm, Birgit Brenner, Martin Eder, Amelie Grözinger, Philip Grözinger, Julia Holzberger, Lou Hoyer, Alex Lebus, Stu Mead, Andreas Mühe, Hanna Putz and Ulrike Theusner. Diverse in medium, and scale, from photography, drawing, painting, sound and collage, the exhibited works share a commonality: the mediation of pornography as inspiration and subject for the artist.

The genesis of the exhibition was the result of a playful conversation last summer, between some of the artists in the show and the directors of EIGEN + ART Lab. It was decided it would be provocative and fun to play up to the stereotype of summer nights in Berlin, and to put on a 'corny, porny show'. As the exhibition evolved, however, it became clear that pornography is increasingly a pertinent subject for discussion. This world-wide phenomenon has made an enormous impact on society, accelerated through the development of the Internet. The distribution of pornography is now widely considered to have effected change in sexual practice across society at large, and to have impacted considerably on contemporary relationships.
