Glenn Fry’s “unrestrained urges”
Local silk-screen artist Glenn Fry’s “unrestrained urges” is meant to be “an homage to vintage gay porn magazines.” Though tame by today’s porn standards — largely suggestive rather than explicitly sexual — half a century and another era ago, they were considered pornographic. Fry’s art was mostly created from photo shoots with live models re-creating vintage images. The installation traces the early evolution of gay porn, before video and the Internet made it easier to come by. On display through Feb. 18. Vitruvian Gallery, 734 7th St. SE, 2nd Floor.
