Art project with sex tapes loses funding in Scotland Hasn’t watched TV for years – Pope talks about his life in autobiography

An art installation with real sex scenes in Scotland loses state support after criticism from politicians and society.

The organizers made serious changes to the project without consultation and thus breached the financing conditions, the Scottish cultural funding organization Creative Scotland announced on Thursday. The ‘Rein’ project received a total of £84,555 in grants in January. The money must be recovered, the report said.

“The central role that ‘non-simulated’ sexual acts now play in the project represents a significant change from the type of work presented in the original application examined for funding,” the report said. The changes were made suddenly to the website.

The project by Glasgow-based artist Leonie Rae Gasson advertised that it would take audiences on a “magical, erotic journey through a quintessential Scottish landscape” and end with a secret sex party in a cave. “Rein is a fantastic 45-minute multi-screen moving image installation that immerses audiences in a wild shared exploration of lesbian sexuality.” An advertisement accompanying the recordings stated that participants had to be over 18 years old. People with experience in sex work were explicitly encouraged to apply.

Britain’s conservative central government criticized the art project as a state-sponsored hardcore pornographic film. Women’s rights group For Women Scotland warned that the installation would dehumanize women and encourage unhealthy and dangerous relationships. (sda/dpa/lyn)
