SOFT FIX, 2015 is a soft core porn assemblage work in the American Peep Show booth that is part of the Pressure Washing exhibition at Converge Gallery. The crucifix, by American artist Matthew Rose, is made from prostitutes' calling cards, and arranged in a grid to form a crucifix.
Reactions to the work thus far have ranged from horrified to mystified to gorgeous to outrageous, John Yogodzinksi, Converge Gallery director told me. "The idea here is to literally cross up the male gaze with paid liberation," says Matthew Rose, "and examine the contradictions of desire, belief, consumer life and private spiritual life."
