Glory of Our Butts: Art, Desire, and the Story of Humanity.
Using the psychological principles behind James–Lange’s theory of emotion—which proposes that emotions arise from physiological and mental responses—LaArtTV designed a unique interview approach. By carefully shaping the questions and the setting, we create a one-of-a-kind emotional connection with each participant. The result is a echt social recipe that dissolves discomfort, lowers inhibition, and encourages people to speak openly about a subject that is often considered difficult or taboo.
Art and desire question©
“When you look at old master paintings of women, does her butt ever catch your eye, or is it something else about her?”
The nude body has long represented beauty, emotion, and humanity. When someone says, “You talk too much about sex,” the reaction may reflect personal or cultural beliefs. Some see the body mainly as sexual; others see it as art. Or the introvert personas habitual: we call it a projecting moralist: A person who harshly condemns others’ sexuality while projecting unresolved behavioral conflicts about their own. How do you see it?
During our “mano a mano,” interviews, one conclusion became unmistakable: women were generally more imaginative and expressive when talking about the butt than men. Their impressions often turned poetic, revealing a sensuous visual language. Men’s responses, by contrast, tended toward the structuraland analytical. “A Brutalist haze transforms the body from an object of desire into a landscape of human presence.” While some descriptions drifted into the banal, both sexes ultimately agreed that the butt remains one of the human body’s most compelling visual attractions in art.

ART BARK!!© “IN PLAIN SIGHT,” AT FACE GUTS GALLERY: A MAZE OF COLORFUL LIFE.
“In Plain Sight,” at Face Guts Gallery: a maze of colorful life, intimate corners to hide in. Open your eyes. Zoom in.
Face Guts is one of L.A.’s small galleries—with a surprisingly big following and a distinctive voice in the city’s art scene. Owned by internationally recognized artist Tim Biskup, the gallery rotates exhibitions by L.A. artists and hosts musical performances.
Mr. Tim Biskup’s art mixes psychedelic color, geometric precision, and playful imagery with the raw energy of punk rock. His dense, graphic compositions sit somewhere between fine art, animation, and pop culture—both meticulously constructed and deliberately wild.
Mr. Biskup’s artistic mantra ©, says it all: “I pared my work down to construction paper and graphite because that pushes everything else out the window. I make work that’s connected to my soul.” His work is exhibited internationally, and he has been interviewed in Juxtapoz Magazine by his friend actress Ms. Patricia Arquette. His two brothers are also artists.
In Plain Sight artists: Akiko Yamashita · Brooke Schuh, Candace Thatcher · Ekta Aggarwal (Pieces of the past: I) Kristin Posehn · Linnéa Gabriella Spransy ·(Slow Bethnic Pulse), Sedona Cohen. Curated by Alvaro Ilizarbe.
