The Erotic Heritage Museum Presents ‘Black List Exhibition’ Freakshow and Concert This Weekend
Harry Money’s Erotic Heritage Museum will be hosting a chock-full Labor Day celebration for a price-busting $29 admission fee. The “Black List Exhibition” will feature music, performances, a book signing, and the debut of new gallery exbibits and spaces, while covering the usual entrance few to the Las Vegas sex-positive institution
On the agenda for this evening that begins at 7 pm and ends at 11 on August 31st:
• The museum’s semi-permanent Luis Royo exhibit, featuring the soundtrack of Mitchel Johnson’s “Murder of Fireflies,” is moving to its new 500 sq ft. ‘Royo Gallery’. This refurbished space, featuring state-of-the-art sound and visuals, plus a new seating arrangement, will provide a completely immerse 36o degree sight and sound experience. Musician Mitchel Johnson is adding two new songs to the two he has already contributed for the updated exhibition.
• The opening of the “Forbidden Gallery, Level Two” will explores the intersection of death, sexuality, and true crime. In this exhibit, the museum proudly announces the display of three plastinated specimens, making the EHM the only sex museum that qualifies to display plastinated body parts. This new exhibit allows visitors the ability to dive into the darker aspects of sexuality, with an updated ‘teachers’ wall serving as a warning of the dangers of sexual grooming. The gallery of erotic serial killer art asks how we can determine a person’s propensity for violence based on the art they create, with the FB centerpiece created by Unrepentant Necrophile. The Forbidden Gallery is also home to one of the only known pieces made by infamous necrophile, Karen Greenlee.
• “My intention through art is to sow a subversive and challenging question, to confront the viewer with images that can awaken a reflection on the ineffable and yet natural force of our own inner desire,” Kercrawler Ghost says of the artwork seen in his gallery that will enjoy its debut this night. Exploring themes of demonology, Christian-faith blasphemy the work displayed here is rendered on oil on canvas and paper-pencil etchings.
• EHM Director, Dr. Victoria Hartmann officially launches and will participate in a book
singing for her new, Forbidden: The Sexual Art Of Serial Killers.
• Concert by Salt Lake City death metal band Chasmlurk
• Performance by Auzzy Blood
• “Blood Burlesque” and Un-baptisms performed by Las Vegas’ Battle Born Satanists
“The Black List Event is a celebration of the subversive, the forbidden and the controversial,” Dr. Hartmann says. “While many institutions keep their distance from art that may offend, the EHM believes these works can give us unique insight into the human psyche, stir thought, and educate. We will feature artists who cover the gamut of art and music, from a sword swallower, to a satanic blood burlesque show, to death metal and dark art, to themes and sounds that allow us to question why some things are off limits…or should be in the first place.”
