Three erotic experiences inspired by artistic performances
This week, I'm suggesting spicing up your erotic life through artistic performance, which is all about pushing the boundaries of the ordinary through lived experimentation. The choice was difficult, as this territory is vast, inspiring, and sometimes completely wild... So I focused on the most enjoyable options. Creativity, of course, was not forgotten!
The shopping list or objects of pleasure
Inspiration: In 1974, the renowned Serbian artist Marina Abramovic made headlines with Rhythm 0, a performance lasting over six hours in a Naples (Italy) gallery. Offering her body to the audience, Abramovic invited spectators to do anything they wished to her, preferably using objects: 72 in total, ranging from the most harmless (honey, a rose) to the most dangerous (a scalpel, a loaded gun). The rest has become legendary, and since Wikipedia is at your fingertips, I'll let you discover for yourself the twists and turns of this high-risk experience.

Marina Abramović leads laureats for Praemium Imperiale arts awards
The Japan Art Association has revealed its laureates for the Praemium Imperiale, the awards widely known as the "Noble of the Arts" Serbian performance artist Marina Abramović has won the sculpture award for her long career of putting her life on the line and using her own body as a medium for her spectacular work. She first grabbed worldwide attention in 1974 with Rhythm 0 by inviting audiences to interact with her using one of 72 objects on a table at a Naples gallery. While people started tamely - offering her a rose or a kiss - the six hour performance ended with a loaded gun held to her head. Painting Scotsman Peter Doig is regarded as one of the world's most important and expensive living painters. His modernist creations are celebrated for their colour, composition and perspectives, weaving together history and everyday life. Many of his most well known works stem from the 20 years he spent living in Trinidad and Tobago and the relationships and real-life encounters he had on the Caribbean island. His works often sell for several million euros and perhaps to add to their intrinsic value, he only produces up to six paintings a year Architecture Eduardo Souto de Moura is known throughout Portugal and beyond for his minimalist approach to gaining maximum impact. His buildings have been widely praised for their functionality, careful use of natural materials and their unexpected dashes of colour. The 58-year-old also won the prestigious Pritzker Prize for architecture in 2011. Cinema and performing arts Choreographer and dancer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker has the added distinction of becoming the first Belgian to win the award for cinema and the performing arts. She's devised more than 60 pieces over her forty year career In 1982, she found fame with Fase: Four movements to the Music of Steve Reich; a ballet based on the music of Reich, himself a Praemium Imperiale winner in 2006. Music Hungarian-born pianist András Schiff is one of the world's leading interpreters of Bach and his music. Over the years he's also gained a reputation for using his platform to protest over politics, describing it as a moral duty. He lived in Austria for more than a decade and courted controversy for refusing to perform in 2007 to demonstrate against the formation of a government that included the far-right party of Joerg Haider. He's also voiced extreme concern over Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his combative and critical stance towards the European Union. Each laureate will receive 15 million yen, or approximately €92,000 at a ceremony to be held in Tokyo on October 22, 2025.

‘Great shame for Croatia': Pro-Nazi salutes at Marko Perković concert
Controversial Croatian singer Marko Perković - known professionally as Thompson and who has a song which opens with the chant 'Za dom spremni!', the Croatian version of the Nazi salute 'Sieg Heil' - gathered tens of thousands of fans to Zagreb this weekend. As we reported earlier this year, Saturday's gig at the Hippodrome was set to be the biggest concert in Croatia's history. Perković broke the record for ticket sales – overtaking the likes of The Rolling Stones and Tina Turner. Organizers said that half a million people attended Perković's concert in the Croatian capital. The 58-year-old rocker, whose fans are known for their chants "Kill a Serb" and "Here we go Ustasha" (the Croatian fascist and ultranationalist organization), has been banned from performing in some European cities over frequent pro-Nazi displays at his gigs. However, Perković remains hugely popular in Croatia, frequently attending rallies and sports events. As he came out to the stage, the singer told the crowd that 'with this concert we will show our unity.' He urged the rest of Europe to 'return to its tradition and Christian roots.' Despite organizers saying that any displays of hate-fueling insignia were strictly banned at Saturday's concert, Perković and his fans still performed pro-Nazi World War II salutes. One of Marko Perković's most popular songs played on Saturday starts with the dreaded 'For the homeland - Ready!' salute, used by Croatia's Nazi-era pupper Ustasha regime. Croatia's WWII Ustasha regime ran concentration camps where tens of thousands of ethnic Serbs, Jews, Roma and anti-fascist Croats were brutally executed. Video footage aired by Croatian media also showed many fans displaying pro-Nazi salutes earlier in the day. The salute is punishable by law in Croatia, but courts have ruled Perković can use it as part of his song, the Croatian state television HRT said. Former Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor on X criticized how 'the state and the city have been put in service of one man.' 'Thrill and excitement as fans at downtown Zagreb already sing songs from the era of the criminal state,' Kosor wrote on X. 'No media are reporting about that.' She added: "Croatian television, for which we all pay a subscription fee, enthusiastically reports on the concert in its noon news program. Not a word about fascist salutes in the city and at the concert. The misery of working-class journalism." In neighbouring Serbia, populist President Aleksandar Vucic criticized Perković's concerts as a display 'of support for pro-Nazi values.' Elsewhere, former Serbian liberal leader Boris Tadic said it was a 'great shame for Croatia" and "the European Union' because the concert 'glorifies the killing of members of one nation, in this case Serbian.' His post on X reads: "Tomposon's concert tonight in Zagreb is a great shame for Croatia, but also for the European Union! It is eerie that today in the 21st century concerts are being organized on the soil of Europe that glorify the Quisling fascist hordes and the killing of members of one nation - in this case Serbian." "It is especially devastating to see how many young people came to the concert of the man who greets the audience with the Ustasha salute and how many of them follow the black shirt iconography of the Ustasha movement from World War II." He added: "Such images not only send tragic messages about the relationship to the past, but also to the future."
