To the artist Francesco D'Isa, who originated the phrase, it means exactly what it says: "...the pornsaint dwells in the house of the saints, but got there travelling a different way, and came in knocking at another door. If the saint, in a way, obtained the absolute by clambering up on God (any God), the pornsaint obtained it climbing over man. "

This exhibition presents the work of an international group of contemporary artists who, explore the possibility that, porn stars may be "sanctified" by their performances. This year the group have had two critically acclaimed exhibitions (one in Philadelphia, the other in Berlin) and A &D are delighted to present their work in Britain, especially at a time when, due to the introduction of new Censorship restrictions (The Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill), we are once again being asked to define our attitude to Pornography.
