Cosmic Coitus: A Slide show of Art, Sex and Spirituality
A Presentation for the 2009 Seattle Erotic Art Festival

Sunday, May 3, 2009
3:00pm – 4:00pm

The Sharma Center…406 Dexter

Cosmic Coitus is a titillating glimpse into the history of the human imagination. Drawing on sacred art from around the world and the writings of mythologists such as Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell, artist and writer Emily Pothast will trace the often rocky relationship between sex and spirituality to shed light on symbols, structures and paradigms that persist today as fragments of a mythic past.

Emily Pothast is a visual artist, musician, essayist, and the current Director of the Antique Print Department at Davidson Galleries in Seattle. Emily studied psychology, philosophy and art history before receiving a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Washington in 2005. She is the author of the critically acclaimed art blog Translinguistic Other, which focuses on the overlapping domains of science, creativity, and the religious impulse.

The lecture will be free and open to the public (Donations accepted at the door.)

These two Northwest artist/musicians seem to express the inherent visual and multi-dimensional aspects of music and sound in two dimensional works on paper and canvas. Or maybe its just me. Stop by Some Space on thursday for the opening and ceremonial beer tasting.
