Grayson Perry on Kinky Sex

Sunday 13 February 2011

Grayson isn't interested in being shocking, but he is interested in sex. And he's more than happy to talk openly about it.

Where religion is unclear whether sex is sacred or a sin, Grayson is certain that what goes on behind closed curtains gets to the heart of who we are. And as for perversion, well, that's in the eye of the beholder. Or beholden.

From the thrill of pushing boundaries (in the bedroom or the studio) to the problems that stem from our tendency to suppress what we fear abnormal, Grayson will take to our pulpit to deliver a potent lesson that encourages us to adopt a more creative, daring, playful and honest approach to sex.

Grayson Perry is an artist well-known for his brightly coloured,classically formed ceramic work. He was awarded the Turner Prize in 2003, accepting the award as his cross-dressing alter-ego 'Claire'. His autobiography, Grayson Perry: Portrait of the Artist As a Young Girl, was published in 2005.
