A new art exhibition called “Saint Gael” by founding ACT UP member and artist Vincent Gagliostro opened in Paris at the Miss China Beauty Gallery.

Said Gagliostro in a statement: “SAINT GAEL (RE-USED) statement: 1. (with a predatory gleam in his eye): ‘heaven’s mouth’ – I thought, tearing his image from the magazine. The most beautiful mouth I had ever seen – Gael Garcia Bernal – a new subject. Further retrieving images from numerous official and unofficial websites, it seemed I was moving from my original focus on his beauty to an encounter with my surpressed voyeuristic nature. Predatory nature. Musical nature. Music, because what I seemed to be on to was a kind of ‘sampling’ much like a DJ/record producer does when creating a work.”

More at East Village Boys and on the artist’s website. (Thanks to Nik for the heads up!)
