Everything You Need To Know This Week On New York's Art Scene

Jessica Lichtenstein, PEEP SHOW

Who would have thought that feminism and hentai—a.k.a. x-rated Japanese animation—could come together to form thought-provoking works of art? And where else would such a fun and cheeky showcase take place but the hot hot Hamptons, just as its annual season of revelry really starts heating up? Though Jessica Lichtenstein's PEEP SHOW may certainly be revealing in the traditional sense, thanks to anime figures in various states of undress, the illustrations, which are contained within provocative words such as 'DIRTY,' 'WET,' and 'LUSH,' also reveal some things about society as a whole. When: Through June 17 Where: Vered Contemporary, 68 Park Place, East Hampton, NY [Photo via]
