Play It Safe

“Now beta, if you decide to get intimate with Raj don’t forget to protect yourself.”

Huh? OK, so in our conservative culture, safe sex isn’t often the first topic of conversation. Well, times are a changing. At the Bose Pascia Gallery in New York, the Delhi based Thukral & Tagra show off their new exhibit, entitled “Put It On.”

Using a wide variety of media, including everything from underwear to footwear, the exhibition promotes safe sex practices while exploring possible solutions for the AIDS epidemic. But it’s not all gloom and doom. Pieces such as a pair of lime green flip flops picturing proper condom usage, make the exhibit is a supremely entertaining visual treat as well.

Look for more from this talented duo, including an upcoming installation at Art Basel in Switzerland. In the meantime, run, don't walk to Bose Pacia and get it while its hot.

Put it On. Bose Pacia, 508 West 26th Street, New York. Tel: 212.989.7074. Open Tuesday through Saturday from 12 to 6 pm. Exhibit runs until June 9^th.
