The show is called Access Denied, but it should be Access by Invitation Only or Access at Your Own Risk. It's the follow-up to Mineral's popular chastity belt show from a year ago.
The walls are lined with artist-designed chastity belts displayed on female-form mannequins. They express 21st century takes - mostly sarcastic - on the medieval concept of guarding a woman's chastity. The overarching theme is that a woman's body should never again be considered the property of another person.
Is there a difference between art and craft? I think there is, and I think these items are craft.
