For Play and Pleasure
Abstract
A review of Kris Lemsalu's sculpture 'Chará,' exhibited in Vienna's Graben from August to November 2023. This public sculpture, made of steel and pigmented synthetic resin, explores the themes of feminine pleasure and joy. It was commissioned by KÖR to enhance Vienna's public spaces and serves as an art installation that engages the public in a dialogue of mythological and contemporary feminist narratives. The review highlights the sculpture's material attributes, its connection to ancient myths like vagina dentata and Baubo, and its societal impact.
