Why does erotic art still challenge viewers? If you missed the animated discussion on the erotic politics of the Surrealists and role of desire in contemporary art today tune into the Royal Academy podcasts to hear ‘Provocations in art: the erotic’ a discussion  with Alyce Mahon, Rowan Pelling and artist Adham Faramawy as part of the Dalí/Duchamp exhibition programme at the Royal Academy.
