Jennifer Montgomery was awesome. Her films really got to some people in a "what do you think of....... THIS!" kind of way. I heard one guy say " Oh my God!" during what appeared to be a women rubbing her menstruation on some over exposed film.
The part I was the most intrigued in was the urine scenes. Which I had to ask a question that I thought I heard some snickers to. But it dawned on me while I was thinking of how to word my question, "I went through a peeing in public phase." I dont know why I did it at the time, but I did go through a phase about 7 years ago where I peed where ever I felt like it. Once I even peed on a bon fire surrounded by people. Thank god we were all drinking or people may have been kind of angry.
But I liked her answer. She said it was part sexual and part liberating. The fact that she said it was part sexual, hell yes. I love people who refuse to be ashamed of them selves and their art. Sure some people can take anything you throw at them, but throw it at their art and its a whole different story. Hell I know a bunch of people that get all hot under the collar when I tell them that their favorite band sucks.
As far as the liberating side goes, I agree. Look at the Vagina Monologues. There is a problem with people feeling comfortable with their bodies. I guess peeing all over the place (never on the floor in a house or anything like that) was a way to be o.k. with me. Weird?

Graphic indeed. When is it art and when does it cross the line and simply hide under the title "art". I know many disagree with me, and that is the beauty of freedom of thought and speech, but I felt Montgomery's first and third pieces may be considered art and the second trash. The acts by the girls to me were the same things one might download from an XXX site online-would that also be considered art if chosen to be shown in class?? Just my own opinion.
