Discretions

Mention the word swinger in America and, unless the listener is into independant films, you will get strange looks (with occasionally a smirk and knowing wink). Such is the reaction in our repressed society. But if you happen to be in Vienna, things are a bit different.

The Element6 club recently became the home of, and part of, an art exhibit. Yes, art patrons are able to visit the club and see Klimt’s “Beethoven Frieze” from 1902, among other art at their club. The thing is this is during the day. The members of the club show up at night, well after the art exhibit is closed.

The point of the exhibit, by Swiss artist Christoph Buechel, is to challenge the norms of Vienna.

In the framework of this exhibition at the Secession, each individual can test for himself or herself whether this opens up new dimensions for his or her own sexuality.

Now can you imagine in America something like this happening? I’m not sure what would be the bigger draw, the club or the art exhibit. I am sure it would be quite the experience though. The looks on the art partons visitors as they pass beds, a bar, and a sauna must be priceless.
