Terence Koh's gallery ASS (Asia Song Society) and BUTT Magazine have teamed up for a short, but sweet art exhibit at ASS's Canal Street location entitled BUTT in ASS, which officially opened Monday and runs through Friday, 07.03.09.

BUTT Magazine presents BUTT IN ASS, an exhibition of queer video art that transforms the gallery into a mock porn shop, complete with a three unit video-buddy-booth sculpture (Shawn Maximo) screening art films in lieu of porn. Curated by Michael Bullock and Yasmine Dubois-Ziai, BUTT IN ASS honors BUTT Magazine's tradition of showcasing the artistic gamut from established luminaries to emerging talents, and is organized in support of the ethos of Gay Pride. This show was made possible by the generous support of American Apparel, a long time friend and supporter of the gay community.

BUTT IN ASS features videos by: Kathryn Garcia, Paul Pfeiffer, Ely Kim, Jean Genet, Paul Lee, Kalup Linzy, Lovett/ Codagnone, Nayland Blake, and Isaac Julien, among others. The installation also includes the artwork of Michael Magnan, Chiang Fu, Desi Santiago, and Shawn Maximo.
