Andres Serrano
Controversial photographer Andres Serrano is busy preparing a brand new exhibition that will run from September 4 until October 4 in New York this autumn.
A source close to the artist has revealed that Serrano is continuing with his "bodily fluids" theme which in the past has included images depicting menstrual blood, mother's milk, semen and most controversially urine in the scandalous work entitled "Piss Christ". Piss Christ was first exhibited in 1989 and is a photograph of a plastic crucifixion submerged in a container of the photographer's own urine.
This time around however Serrano is rumoured to have moved on to faeces. Unfortunately the photographer is so paranoid his creative ideas may be stolen he is refusing to divulge any more information. Readers will just have to wait until Serrano's latest masterpiece is unveiled in September, watch this space.
Serrano has been surrounded by controversy for his entire career, many of his works contain graphic images of murder victims, dead children, bestiality and other sexual activity.
The portfolio for Serrano's "The History of Sex" includes explicit photographs of nudity as well as images of bondage, a gagged priest, a naked amputee, masturbation, a woman wanking off a horse, homosexual intercourse, midget sex, female domination, fisting, geriatric sex and a man pleasuring himself orally.
Some of Andres' "bodily fluids" work has been used by heavy metal act Metallica for their album covers, and Andres has also directed a music video for rockers Godflesh.

My only friend through teenage nights,
And everything I had to know, I heard it on my radio'
