...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...

...More ironies abound. 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.

...Emmy in its second season, Starr's Sex and the City (HBO, Sundays, 9 p.m. E.T.) follows sex columnist Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker, also an Emmy nominee) and the three over-30 professional friends who provide her material. The show has gained notice for its frontal nudity, lewd puns and sex moves that Mike and Carol Brady would never have contemplated. 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...
