Description: Sex and art we're told are sacred two spheres that ought to be kept separate from the ravages of the marketplace. Yet both prop up two incredibly lucrative industries built on the commodification of creativity and desire authenticity and intimacy. Our reaction to this should not be moral or political outrage nor legal regulation or denial but rather - as Sophia Giovannitti argues here - acceptance through which we can find a more autonomous way to live. In this searching and provocative work drawing on cultural and political theory the contemporary art world and the author's own experience as a sex worker and artist trying to make a living Giovannitti argues that if we delve into our anxieties around art and sex we can instead find new ways to live and spaces however small of freedom. When there is nothing left to protect she argues everything is possible.
