Time Out (London) and exhibition at the Wellcome Collection

Recommended Posts

Time Out magazine is a free weekly magazine handed out at stations to commuters in the UK. This week the London edition was 'The Sex Issue', and featured a brief piece by Wellcome Collection curator Honor Beddard in a larger article on 'Objects of Desire'. She talks about some phallic amulets in the Wellcome and plugs their new exhibition 'The Institute of Sexology', briefly mentioning asexuality:

Everyone is going to come at the show from a particular standpoint: heterosexual; homosexual; trans; asexual. Everybody is an expert; they know themselves, they're living thee experience. What we hope to reveal is that, however liberal or open-minded you are, everyone comes with their own preconceived ideas about sex, and that those ideas are still culturally conditioned.

The exhibition opens at the Wellcome (opposite Euston station) on 20th November. It'll be interesting to see what it's all about, given their awareness of us.
