Nearly seventy drawings in Cherkassky's signature diaristic style and five large acrylic paintings invoke the erotic tradition in art history as an ironic form of political engagement. An introductory essay by Neubauer Collegium Curator Dieter Roelstraete considers Cherkassky's humorous paean to the \"joy of sex\" as a knowing, defiant response to contemporary conflicts. Curator and art historian Abigail Winograd presents Cherkassky's vision of everyday desire in the context of long-running feminist debates over representations of the female body. Touching on the vexed issue of free expression at a moment when political and cultural leaders seem to have very clear ideas about what art should say and do (or, just as patronizingly, what it \u003ci\u003eshouldn't\u003c\/i\u003e say and do), the works make a compelling case for the pleasures of interpretive freedom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dieter Roelstraete,Abigail Winograd,David J.
