The "seminal" exhibit consists of a refrigerated container with this notice attached- "Warning, contains 6 ml of semen extracted through masturbation, distributed among seven glass tubes." Its title is "Level 7."
The exhibit is on display at the Banff Centre of Fine Arts. The artist, Israel Mora, a professor from Mexico, received $1300 in financial assistance (surely a paltry sum!) from the Banff Centre. (Calgary Herald editorial, Dec. 9 01)
A letter to the paper notes that the artists residency ends this week and that he will laugh all the way back to Mexico.
