AN ARTIST has created a new exhibition of drawings by masturbating over paper.

Controversial performance artist Jordan McKenzie, 40, has made 55 images by ejaculating over canvas and sprinkling carbon over the results to immortalise them.

The results of his labour entitled Spent are to go on display at the Centre for Recent Drawing in Highbury, north London, for a month.

But Father Kit Cunningham, of St Etheldredas Church in Clerkenwell, said: “All we can do is pray for the artist.”

The clergyman, based at the oldest Roman Catholic church in London, stressed: “The extraordinary thing is that someone actually thought it was art and put it on at his gallery.

“We are clearly dealing with a very mixed-up person.

Art lover and artist David Gleeson said: “Tracy Emin showed her knickers but this is a different thing entirely.

“I am in favour of almost any form of expression but I do baulk at ejaculating over a piece of paper. Oh please!

“Excuse the pun, but it sounds like he’s taking the p***.”

Jordan, who intends to create three drawings a week, said: “This is only the first batch of them.

“It is a diary of my ejaculations they are heartfelt and delicate.

“I hope people will come and see them - not judge them out of hand.”
"out of hand"...Get it?...

Ironically, I don't blame the artist...he's clearly retarded, but also a capitalistic whose realizing PT Barnum's quote of a sucker born every minute...

And that sucker du jour is the Centre where the display is being shown...

Giving morons a stage doesn't say much for their credibility...

I was going to formulate some words on this, then realized that the people in the news article aren't worth the cost of storing my comments electronically.

I'll just requote and say to the comments.

look on the bright side. He's 40 and plans on producing three "artworks" a week.

Just imagine his artistic output if he were 14.

Teen-age boys can rake in thousands a week in "art".
But then the market would probably get saturated.

O.K., this just goes right along with my theory about when to let teenagers have privileges and what those privileges are.
If you let 'em out of the box so to speak at say age 15, and find out they are still little morons-you can't pull them back in again and start over. They are out and they're gonna stay out.
Same as if you let your teenager smoke cigarettes, they will more than likely try marijuana and a host of other drugs cause smoking isn't daring enough now.

Society (at least American society) is like a teenager. You take up for the bra -less then you have to put up with the shirtless. And it keeps getting more bizarre as you proceed through the next generation.
Having sex on stage? Someone thinks that's art. So be it. Then a few years or even decades later why not show paintings of come-on-canvass?
We need a new Victorian Age!

This is why I think real artist need to go out and sue every fraud out there posing as artist.What next will just standing on a corner with your hand in your pocket be considered art or how about wiping a bugger on a tissue be considered artwork?

Pissing in jars,painting on a kindergarten art class level when you are grown adult,throwing trash in a bag,welding crap together that doesn't look like anything,putting stuff in bowls and lining them up in a row and jerking off on a canvas is not art.Art requires actual artistic talent, not conning a bunch of retards who obviously do not know what art is.
