Art Porn Week

Wednesday 12th June – Saturday 15th June (various times)

Who said that porn can’t be artistic? Mindpirates‘ Art Porn Week proves this assumption wrong with a four day event dedicated to showcasing some of the best international artistic approaches to pornographic experiences. Aimed at encouraging visitors to ‚get involved‘ there will be various interactive performances, as well as an ongoing art exhibition, film/documentary screenings and of course, plenty of hedonistic parties. Perhaps the most unusual sounding event is Friday’s ‚Lady G. & Dildo Orchestra‘, yes, orchestra.
