(Bitter) Sweet Sex
Friday, March 6th at 7:30 (7pm doors open)
Join us for a very special evening to support “City of Wounded Boys & Sexual Warriors,” a major retrospective exhibition and book by SF radical sex photographer Mark I. Chester. Come indulge and satiate yourself with exciting performances and readings, a sinfully delicious dessert bake sale and an in-process sneak peek at Mark’s book. This important self-published digital monograph of Mark’s photographs documents over 35 tumultuous years in San Francisco’s sexual underground through fine art personal and sexual portraiture. A companion gallery show is scheduled at CSC for the month of September 2015.
Entrance to (Bitter) Sweet Sex is $20 (no one turned away) and attendees get a free dessert. Patrons who pre-order the book for $95 (15% off the retail price) will get free entrance to the benefit as well as a free dessert.
