CUNTS

There's been quite a controversy around Melbourne with sculptor Greg Taylor's posters promoting his 'Cunts' exhibition being removed from city walls.

The bastion for all that is good and wholesome in this world, Radio 3AW has been kicking up a major raucous stink about the language and content of these posters.

And I'm glad they did, because without all the controversy and bruhaha that they are generating for the artist and his show... I would've never known about it!

Today Sam and I headed out to the North Melbourne Meat Market, where Taylor's 'Cunts' show was on display. We were very fortunate to meet the artist himself and had a wonderful chat with him about his work and current project.

It really is a unique experience and seeing these amazing portraits that Greg has created. These are not casts but one-of-a-kind 'portraits' of a diverse range of females that posed for him. Truly astounding and I was blown away by the sheer personality and form of expression of each... 'cunt'.

The exhibition runs from the 14-29 February at the Meat Market.

42 Courtney Street, North Melbourne. Open midday to 7pm. Enquiries 0449979 462
