Who Are the Melon Farmers?

The Melon Farmers is an anti-censorship campaigning website

It is not a traditional campaign or political organisation. There are no members, no subscriptions and no constitutions. Just a bunch of good people who contribute news, information and opinion.

The objectives and aims of the Melon Farmers are simply an aggregation of the many that contribute. Somehow news, information and opinion can make for a very effective campaign.

Erotic art exhibition in Brighton

She Said logoMay 16th until June 29th
13 Ship Street Gardens, Brighton BN1 1AJ

A new erotic art exhibition is being launched this week in Brighton, called Impure Art. It is a collaboration between adult boutique She Said and erotic artist Jamie McCartney, curator of the exhibition, and it will feature over 30 local and international erotic artists during its six weeks run.

Impure Art is defined by the organisers as ‘anything from nude to rude’ and it will feature everything from sensual, feminine paintings, through humorous illustrations, saucy neon lights to fetish photography and fine erotic jewellery.

Works from established names such as Ray Leaning, Jamie McCartney, Don Grant and Eve Poland will sit alongside that of rising stars and hot new talent like Amanda Ward, Pearl Bates and recent graduate Andrew McAuley.

The Impure Art concept was conceived some time ago but when an ex-gallery space just two doors down from She Said became available it was too good an opportunity to pass up.

Curator Jamie McCartney has a seafront studio in Brighton and his explicit body castings have already achieved widespread recognition. He was the winner of the 2007 Erotic Signature International Sculpture Prize and runner-up in 2008, and his work is currently on show at the famous Kinsey Institute of Sexual Research. Jamie is a member of both the Guild and Association of Erotic Artists, who have both endorsed Impure Art.

Playing The Victim (Part of My Fierce Festival)

A hackneyed image of male brutality is unveiled to reveal a celebration of one woman’s pleasure.

Playing the Victim is a visceral and intense performance that explores sexuality, pain and individual choice. It depicts forbidden acts, challenging preconceptions and questioning laws drafted in knee-jerk response to media sensationalism. Due to its nature Playing the Victim can only be performed once every 3 months. The performance at My Fierce Festival is no. 2 in a limited edition of 7 performances. It contains scenes of a graphic nature that may offend some viewers.
