...gallery space, you see the same calculation peeking its tongue-wagging little head out of the art. Much of what's on show here really ought to be viewed the way another work about another Mary was--last year's bathroom-humor blockbuster, Something About Mary. It's lewd and long on visual pratfalls, and there is not a great deal else to do but roll your eyes as you pass Sarah Lucas' Au Naturel (1994), a dingy mattress leaning against a wall with an erect cucumber shooting up with two oranges at its base, two ripe melons across...

Marie is a woman who looks like a sweet and frail schoolteacher but willingly accepts a lewd offer from a stranger, fantasizes about working in a headless whore factory, and derives visceral pleasure in gynocological exams.

But really, Sex and the City is groundbreaking because it's about the mundaneness of sex--to fake or not to fake, how to coach a man in bed. Even the sex scenes are comic because, like good...
...first, I was a bit shell-shocked, stuck in my crotchety Boston mode. When I went for my daily run, I would keep my head down and eyes on the sidewalk, taking care not to make eye contact with anyone--and especially not those lewd construction workers, for God's sake...
