DICKCHICKEN at the Museum of Sex

I visited the Museum of Sex this weekend to check out an exhibition called F*CK ART. Hanging right by the entrance was street artist DICKCHICKEN’s take on the subway map-as-a-phallus theme. The rest of the show is just as awesome. Cassius Fouler has a playfully perverse wall piece entitled We’re F*cked, which depicts food items and sex organs in his unique iconographic style. Australian artist LUSH also has a big piece with a big phallus, ejaculating his pseudonym across the wall.

A few of these pieces are on the main level of the museum—which is a gift shop—so you can view them without paying for admission. Check out Graff Cal for the exhibition details!

NYC Gets Up

Is that a Long Island in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Something has changed indeed.

Emerging street artist Beast made a few not-so-subtle alterations to the map and posted them at subway entrances around the city last week. Props to him for taking the Manhattan as phallus motif a step further and for poking (no pun intended) fun at the MTA’s silly new ad campaign.

 

Another version of the faux-sign evokes recent events.


Tourists continued using the maps, unhindered by the text tilted 100 degrees.


Something’s different here. Ah yes! They changed the color of the water!

Subway Map Phallus Redux

Phallus

I suppose the person who made this wasn’t the only one whose mind is stuck in the gutter. If you are fascinated by this sort of thing, check out our friends over at You Can Has PEN15.

Thanks Jaci!

A Subway Map of Phallic Proportions

Being that the MTA is dicking us around with service cuts and fare hikes, we here at The Subway Art Blog propose a redesign of the subway map.  Said redesign can be found above.  Oh, and we also propose renaming the Third Avenue Bridge, the Vas Deferens Bridge.
