Lucky Gallery Welcomes Alexander Ellis – Event Photographer
Posted by admin in Lucky Gallery Welcomes Alexander Ellis - Event Photographer on March 3rd, 2010
Alexander Ellis
Alexander is a recent graduate of the George Washington University, where he was the photo editor of the independent college newspaper, the Hatchet. Here he developed his love and passion for photography and journalism. His favorite photographer is Henri Cartier-Bresson, the father of modern photojournalism.
When he is not shooting for Lucky Gallery, you can find him freelancing in the tri-state area and taking his dog on long walks.
Smile for Alexander at the next Lucky Gallery event (he most likely will be the guy with the biggest camera in the room)!

Lucky Gallery Presents “Daily Porn”
Posted by admin in Lucky Gallery Presents "Daily Porn" on January 27th, 2010
Iulia Toacaci
From Feb 13th to March 6th, Lucky Gallery is pleased to announce “Daily Porn”, a pornographic bonanza of erotic books, collages, drawings, sculpture, and performance by artists Greg Beyer, Will Kurtz, John Lennon, Morgan Miller, Mark Mulroney, Kevin Muth, Hannah Nelson, Tara Sinn, Alix Sorrell, and Iulia Toacaci, exploring the ever-changing role of pornography in the realm of the contemporary art.
No longer confined to the pages of antiquity (Re: Petronius), the erotic has transcended into the world of mainstream media to become a propaganda tool and everyday commodity. Regardless of its highbrow/lowbrow underpinnings, we continue to create, display, question and enjoy images of desire both openly and secretly.
From the surreal eroticism of Salvador Dali to the kitsch eroticism of Jeff Koons, erotic art (in all its forms) has always inflamed public opinion. Even today, our supposed relaxation of the codes of behavior often rings false, as images involving nudity and the erotic are considered provocative, dangerous, and unwelcome in the public sphere.
Curated by gallery director Laura Arena and artist Iulia Toacaci, Daily Porn aims to explore and define what is erotic and titillating to different creative individuals, displaying a diversity of sensibilities and approaches that range from the humorous and raunchy, to the personal and the intimate.
The intent is not to criticize a direction or another, an attitude or a preconceived idea on the existence, the nature, and the social / political and economic implications of sexual imagery. The exhibition is not a re-action to people’s prudeness when it comes to exposure to sexual content and is not actively and consciously trying to educate an audience but reinforce something that everybody already knows, whether they agree with or not, accept it or not, and that sex and its visual representations have been part of our lives for as long as we can discuss consciousness.
To quote Henry Miller “obscenity, like sex, has its natural, rightful place in literature as it does in life”.

John Lennon
John Lennon + Yoko Ono
John Lennon’s BAG ONE PORTFOLIO, (Bag Productions. 1970. First edition). A complete set of the Lennon lithographs. John Lennon produced the drawings for these lithographs as a wedding gift for Yoko Ono and as a celebration of their new marriage. Eight are erotic, intimate images of himself and Yoko and the rest show scenes from their honeymoon and wedding, including the ceremony itself and the Bed In.
The lithographs were first exhibited in January 1970 at the London Arts Gallery and were on sale at £40 each or £550 for the set. On the second day, the exhibition was raided by Scotland Yard, who confiscated the eight erotic lithographs on grounds of indecency.
Anthony Fawcett’s 1976 biography of John Lennon, One Day At A Time, records that during the subsequent court case, “Detective-Inspector Patrick Luff, of the Central Office, New Scotland Yard, said that when he went to the gallery on January 15 about forty people were viewing the prints. ‘I saw no display of annoyance from the younger age group, but one gentleman was clearly annoyed,’ he said. Mr. St. John Harmsworth, the magistrate, asked: ‘Did he stamp his foot?’ ‘Anger was registered on his face,’ Inspector Luff replied. Mr. Napley, the defending lawyer, handed over a set of lithographs to the court with the comment: ‘I hope the officer will not mark them, because no doubt by the end of this case they will be worth more than five hundred and fifty pounds.’
BAG ONE
The case was dismissed when the magistrate decided that John’s prints were ‘unlikely to deprave or corrupt.’
BAG ONE PORTFOLIO comprises a complete suite of lithographs, together with title-page and hand-numbered limitation page all housed in the original white vinyl bag. The bag has two white vinyl handles, a white vinyl buckle and a heavy duty zip closure.
Mark Mulroney
Mark Mulroney
Instead of paying attention during class Mark copied his older brothers Iron Maiden album covers in his notebooks using a Ticonderoga #2 pencil. Several years later and following a two year long bout with colon cancer Mark’s work changed in a direction that disturbed his mother. The work became more sexual and absurd. Mark accounts for this by saying, “Impotence will do a lot to stimulate the imagination.”
