Ever since women artists gave themselves the right to express their
sexual fantasies, their work has reserved surprises for those who
once expressed their fantasies for them. In a raw language that
ignores taboos and describes images that are sometimes hard to cope
with, these women speak of sex like Courbet painted The Origin of
the World. Keep This Sex Out of My Sight is a hymn to women's sex,
a sanctification of a feminine desire so often erased, hidden, and
forgotten. For the artists whose texts and images appear here,
obscenity has become a territory in which lurks the source of the
fear of their bodies. In it can be conjured the mutilating weight
of masculine observation and its post-religious, obscurantist
remnants, where pornography is the response to the fear of the
female sexual organ. Showing the unshowable parts of the body flies
in the face of social constraint, of plays for power where sexual
liberation and liberation are all too often confused, where sex
becomes political because of its integral role in the field of
individual control.
