The Leather Archives & Museum, 6418 N. Greenview Ave., is exhibiting “Materialkink” through Jan. 14, 2018.
Curated by Chicago-based artist José Santiago Pérez, this exhibition features artworks by local, national and global artists “that expand the boundaries of erotic art through contemporary explorations of the materialities that accompany and structure the lifeworlds of alternative sex,” according to a press release.
Artists use rope, nylon, wax, rubber, fabric, furniture and leather regarding art that aims to show the body and its erotic engagement with the substances of kinky sexualties.
Some of the artists include Katie Vota, David Nasca, Betsy Odom, Luis Mejico, Chloe Cooper, Derrick Woods-Morrow and Vincent Tiley.
