Episode 7 of our Los Angeles season is here! And it’s a beauty: with British feminist surrealist and LA dweller Penny Slinger, who made groundbreaking collage art in the 60s and 70s and was on the Swinging London scene. But, following her first show of erotic art in New York, she practically disappeared.
We found her in DTLA where she talked to us about her incredible life: being pals with Lee Miller, living in a turret with pet falcons, finding her way in a male-dominated art world, how tantra revitalised her life and work, performing a real-life sex scene in the only feature film directed by a woman in the 1970s, sensual and sexual liberation, and why desire doesn't diminish with age. She just hopes she lives to see her first retrospective. This one made us blub during the interview! Celebrate women while they’re alive!
