An exhibition of drawings, made by masturbating over paper, has prompted an angry outburst from the Clergy. Controversial performance artist Jordan McKenzie, 40, is exhibiting 55 images he made by ejaculating over canvas and sprinkling carbon over the results to immortalise them.The results of his handiwork, entitled 'Spent' are to go on display at the Centre for Recent Drawing in Highbury, north London, for a month. 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 favor of almost any form of expression but I do baulk at ejaculating over a piece of paper."
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." He admitted his mother had no idea about his latest work, but added: "I don't think it would bother her that much."
