ALEC CLAYTON: PUTTING IT ALL ON THE LINE >>>

Surely you’ve seen the posters by now: Naked Tacoma. 20 participants, 32 breasts, 16 vaginas, four penises, one butt cheek.

Attention grabbing, isn’t it? It’s the opening show of Paul Uhl’s new delight gallery inside Sanford & Son, and it’s the first of three similarly-themed shows planned for the gallery. By the time autumn comes, Tacomans may be sick and tired of naked bodies, or at the very least they might view naked bodies differently.

Uhl’s life partner and business partner, Deborah Page, was responsible for the unique display of the photographs, which are hung on clotheslines and clothes hangers with panties and bras draped between them. “She is responsible for the look and feel of the gallery,” Uhl says.

Check out my full review in Thursday’s Weekly Volcano.

[delight gallery, Naked Tacoma, Wednesday by appointment, Thursday-Friday 1-6 p.m., Saturday 11a.m. to 6 p.m., Sunday noon to 5 p.m. through mid July, inside Sanford & Son, 743 Broadway, Tacoma]

I posted a few photos from the show on the second page. They are not safe for work.

The next show in the series, to open for the July Art Walk, will be called Peep Show Tacoma.
