Valie’s “man on leash” is first & that makes it “best.” (Need I mention that Valie’s original “Action Pants: Genital Panic” was decidedly better than Marina Abramovic’s Nov. ’07 re-creation at the Guggenheim?

5 M. Cameron Boyd September 19, 2008 at 7:24 pm: Ah, yes . . . vintage: kind of like Irving Klaw’s photos of Bettie Page. Enjoyed your blog as well – shall we trade links?
