Clayton Pettet is a 2nd year art student at Britain’s Saint Martens College. (Holy Pulp, it’s a real place.) And he’s got an exciting new work planned. He’s going to get fucked in the ass for the first time! In public. FOR ART.
Pettet’s project, “Art School Stole My Virginity”, will take place in a London gallery next January. He had a poster for a previous date on his Tumblr (see below), but I guess his ass got cold… ass.
“I’ve held on to my virginity for 19 years, and I’m not throwing it away lightly,” Pettet said. “Basically it’s like I am losing the stigma around virginity.”
He continued: “Since culturally we do hold quite a lot of value to the idea of virginity I have decided to use mine and the loss of it to create a piece that I think will stimulate interesting debate and questions regarding the subject.”
Clayton will be penetrated by a friend, and says that they will use condoms. This is high art! Forget your stuffy museums full of dusty paintings and that terrifying Jeff Koons rabbit that I think should be melted down and buried. THIS is what art is supposed to be! New ideas! Risks being taken! A cute guy getting his ass ravaged for the betterment of all!

I hope they videotape it…for the sake of preservation of course…
Unless there’s a gerbil involved, it’s not art.
Would his teacher enjoy grading this assignment? Hmm…
i really dont care if hes losing his cherry………like yeah who cares lol…..its having sex for the first time not a cure for cancer so not that important lol
Art can be very important to people. This young man is making something interesting & emotionally involved. I’d say that makes it both important to him and true art lovers.
important to him yes…………
Having sex in public is not art. It’s just a way for this guy to get off on legally fucking in public. Maybe I’m being extreme but I wouldn’t be completely surprised that in the next few decades slashing someone’s throat will be considered art. Says the psychotic artist: “The gushing and splattering of fresh blood on the floor shows the beauty of the human body’s ability to create natural art.” Reminds me of ‘Dexter’.
So do you consider “performance art” as an entire genre not to be art? What about this particular performance makes it not art?
Seriously? There’s a huge dialogue surrounding this piece of performance art. There’s huge stigma surrounding sexuality; especially the sexualities of lgbtq people. There’s still stigma attached to virginity permeating society. This seems pretty darn important to me, if for no other reason than because it’s getting people to talk about these issues.
Why so dismissive of how his art?
Correction: Should be read Central St Martins College
Like the premises, however, if the theme is virginity and loss of it he has failed the his 2nd year massively.
Patriarchal societies associate sexual purity and virginity to women. Transition to womanhood being complete after loss/given to the one and only true forever spouse (shit like that still happens in 3rd world countries)
With men virginity loss has never been a stigma/association as intercourse between 2 men has never been seen as loss of it. Ejaculation was the confirmation that the ‘boy’ is now a ‘man’…
Basically he either screws a woman in public, or the amount of masturbation has already removed the cloak of virgin from him; resulting in a failed exhibition as he is not a virgin according to out society…
and if he is going to lose or give up his virginity why not do it with his partner instead of just a friend it would truly have some meaning if he was giving up his virginity to someone he was in love with. I read in another article he has a significant other so why not do it with him? would only make sense to do it that way instead of just a friend.
