DEMORUMMET presents the work "Male pubic hair" by Flemming Rolighed 23 April - 23 May, 2010
A lump of history: according to myth, "The Great Castration Event" took place in the Vatican in 1857. The Pope ordered all phallic imagery to be removed from Vatican sculptures in order to curb lust among papal employees. The Phallus was to be exchanged for the fig leaf. In the light of the cultural history of nudity, the artist Flemming Rolighed has made a cast of the male pubic hair from the sculpture "Agnete & Havmanden". Here we find the designation of nudity being questioned: censorship is never constant, it is always with us when art is at issue. Flemming Rolighed completed his art studies at the Jutland Art Academy in Aarhus in 2008. His art often deals with themes such as sexuality, gender and identity. He has conducted a number of solo exhibitions, as well as taking part in the group exhibition 'Lost & Found'.
