HIGH VOLTAGE !

Sexual energy is the most powerful kind in this universe, as everybody knows. However, it also keeps you fit and shipshape.

Both theories are proven in this 1953 issue of WINK magazine: a whirl of girls.
The cover art is by Peter Dribben.
The legendary electrifying Bettie Page is featured as one of the DANGER! HIGH VOLTAGE! samples.
... especially energizing for tired business man! (wink)

BROT UND WURST

Kati Heck (German - living and working in Antwerp, Belgium) concentrates mostly on painting, but sculpture and installation art are also part of her work. In both the same techniques are used: skilled collages seemingly dealing with the absurdity of daily life.

Food and eating is a reoccurring theme in Heck's work, just like drinking, sex, banality and cruelty.

Her paintings are a fluent combination of keen photorealism and chaotic expressionist brush strokes, not unlike the combination of the Franfurter's firm geometry and it's sloppy dollop of mustard.

McCARTHYBOLISM

Among the themes in Paul McCarthy's complex yet humoristic work one finds, besides sex and politics, a large preoccupation with 'metabolism'. Tomato ketchup and choclate sauce are standard ingredients of his performances since the '70's with bags of flour and an occasional raw sausage thrown in for good measure. Commenting on modern society food and its counterpart are far from shunned as inevitable realities.
His early perfromance 'Rocky' (1976) has besides nudity only two other ingredients: boxing gloves and ketchup.
