NEW YORK — Satisfyer is sponsoring “Portia Munson: The Pink Bedroom,” a new exhibition at the Museum of Sex in New York, opening to the public on Friday.
American visual artist Munson, a rep noted, “has created a world of pink that prompts reflection on the correlation between mass consumerism, constructions of femininity and sexual objectification.”
This is the first time Munson's work will be presented at the Museum of Sex.
“Satisfyer seeks to be an agent of change to encourage conversation around sexual health and wellness, with the ultimate goal of reducing stigma in the category,” the rep continued. “By partnering with the Museum of Sex and Portia Munson, Satisfyer is demonstrating its commitment by providing consumers an educational look at femininity and mass consumerism through bright, bold, and thoughtfully curated art.”
Visitors to “Portia Munson: The Pink Bedroom” will be able to immerse themselves in Munson's new work and 30 years of her “Pink Project” series, ongoing since 1994. The exhibition includes works created specially for the show, such as a large-scale, site-specific installation of “Pink Project: Bedroom,” a new sculpture titled Nude II (2022) and graphite drawings featuring sex toys.
Satisfyer President Julia Pokryshka said, "We are excited to expand our partnership with the Museum of Sex and work with the talented Portia Munson on this influential exhibition that celebrates sexuality and prompts advocacy. At Satisfyer, we support the intersection between art and sexuality and understand the importance of this culturally impactful display of femininity. We're looking forward to seeing how consumers react and encourage them to explore their own sensuality as a result."
Visitors attending the exhibition can purchase a variety of Satisfyer products at the Museum of Sex retail store, and will also have the opportunity to win a Satisfyer prize in the Cupid's Arrow game inside of Super Funland.
Kit Richardson, head of sales and merchandising at the Museum of Sex, said the venue “supports public discourse and engagement around sex. Our retail shop is an important element where visitors can take home a piece of our mission with them. We share Satisfyer's dedication to creating pleasurable, multisensory experiences for all — and are proud to partner with their team as a sponsor of this important exhibition.”
“Portia Munson: The Pink Bedroom” will be on view at the Museum of Sex in New York until July. Visitors can purchase tickets for museum entry at MuseumOfSex.com.
