Nuit Blanche Spend the Night with Come As You Are (and half a million art lovers)

Join us this Saturday night/Sunday morning the opening of Sweet Light Crude: Erotic Drawings & Paintings by Mallory Diaczun and Erin Finley. The art opening begins at 7PM and wil continue through the night in celebration of Nuit Blanche. Enter the erotic colouring competition, confess your sex secrets and win prizes from Come As You Are!

Toronto artist Mallory Diaczun, creator of Queen West’s most infamous dirty work "Jenna’s Colouring Book" (which features line drawings of porn star Jenna Jameson), is the headliner of the Girl + Girl show, striking a calculated balance between wit and candor. Mallory Diaczun has collaborated with fellow artist Erin Finley for this exhibition; Finley’s works, which complement Diaczun’s in terms of an approach to technique, offer glimpses into forbidden love. Both artists are interested in posing questions about sexual power and submission; the interchangeability of gender roles; and the garish spectacle of sex in popular culture. These two young women investigate what it means to fantasize about rap stars, tennis heroes, and the girls next door – all through feminist eyes.
