Pin Up
by Miriam Bohemia
Four years ago the painter Miriam Bohemia returned to her native country, the Czech Republic, to discover the home her mother had been raised in is now a brothel. The small town of 10,000, bordering West Germany and servicing a military base, has 22 brothels in total. Pin Up is a resulting series of paintings investigating the universal and often hidden impact of the sex economy generated by the military in both war intervention and invasion.
Says Bohemia, "Our own forces in Afghanistan were just issued a quarter of a million condoms. I don't think that that they are going to be using them on each other." Whether it is a NATO base bordering Germany, an American encampment in Iraq or Canadian troops in Kandahar, all military enclaves surrender the lives of women into sex in predictable ways.
Bohemia's paintings topple the former war illustration regime as an ironic hybrid of the American Pinup and Communist propaganda poster. The frontline of democracy becomes a grotesque burlesque. Each pin up girl, thick with makeup, joins a regiment of sex workers in global survivalist masks questioning even the impact of Canadian peace keeping.

The exhibition is one night only at [ d-leted ].
