“Six unemployed young men from Old Havana were hired for $30 in exchange for being tattooed.” @estudiosantiagosierra
250CM LINE TATTOOED ON 6 PAID PEOPLE by Santiago Sierra (1999).
Part of the A/POLITICAL collection.
Launching on Valentine’s Day, THE REVOLUTION IS MY BOYFRIEND subverts the lie of heteronormative romantic capitalism, queering the materialism of this Hallmark holiday and replacing it with a symbol of uprising.
“The Revolution Is My Boyfriend weaponises luxury against those who hoard it. The artwork mirrors the power structures it seeks to destroy: gold, permanence, exclusivity... The 1% bends us over repeatedly, with or without our consent. This cock ring is about fighting back and keeping the desire for revolution rock hard. Fuck the rich!” @brucelabruce
The unique artwork was created by Bruce LaBruce in collaboration with master jeweller @jonathanjohnsonjewelry .
Presented by A/POLITICAL, it forms part of a special gold edition of the artist’s latest book of the same name, published by @Baron_Books .

ANT SERIES by #DavidWojnarowicz (1988) @wojfound
In 2010, UNTITLED (SPIRITUALITY) — the first image shown above, which recreates a scene from Wojnarowicz’s film FIRE IN MY BELLY (1986–87) — became the focus of controversy when the film was removed from the Smithsonian’s exhibition HIDE/SEEK following complaints from U.S. politicians and religious groups.
The removal occurred alongside renewed public and political backlash against #AndresSerrano’s PISS CHRIST, produced in the same year, placing both artists again at the centre of wider debates around religion, censorship, and the use of public funding for contemporary art.
PISS CHRIST is part of the A/POLITICAL collection.
