Art Lab
The Love Art Laboratory Run by academic Elizabeth M. Stephens and her wife, Annie M. Sprinkle Ph.D, prostitute/porn star turned sexologist/artist/author, the LAL is committed to projects that explore, generate, and celebrate love. Using visual art, installation, theatre pieces, interventions, live art, exhibitions, lectures, printed matter and activism, they orchestrate interactive performance art. In 2005 they created the Extreme Kiss workshop, a Breast Cancer Project and a project entitled Post Porn Love. In 2006, inspired by the work of Yves Klein, they created the Erotic Art Making events, where thirty artists make erotic art and give it all away at the end of the night. Another thirty people of all genders, shapes, sizes and colours come as models and muses, and the whole thing becomes a spectacularly sexy tableau vivant. Each guest is given a ticket to exchange for a piece of erotic art of their choice. They have done this at the Museum of Sex (N.Y.C.), the Center for Sex and Culture (S.F) and at the Minna Gallery (S.F.) and on tours around the world.

Revisions of Excess
The legendary performance artist Ron Athey together with London-based live artist Lee Adams put on a critically acclaimed performance event that earned much admiration at the Fierce festival in Birmingham. It was a collaboration of artists responding to the excessive and nihilistic writings of George Bataille, with extreme, sexual and sadistic, and uncensored performances throughout.
