Best Place for Crotch Shots

Since opening in 2003, the Shooting Gallery has consistently and proudly displayed edgy, often sexually charged art and photography in its small Tenderloin gallery space. Owner Justin Giarla, a self-described California skater boy who grew up listening to rockabilly and punk music, never had much use for traditional galleries and their stuffy employees. Instead, Giarla saw fine art on the bottoms of skateboards, in erotic photographs, inked on people�s bodies, in comics, and on the covers of punk rock albums. As a curator, Giarla puts together shows that are innovative, well-executed, and always in line with his outsider aesthetics. The annual June erotic show is a smorgasbord of titillating sculptures, paintings, and photographs. Even when sex is not an explicit part of gallery shows, it is always there, flirting in the background. Past shows have explored girls and guns, tiki art, early�San Francisco absinthe dens, and anime.
