As well as inviting the audience to see 'bare-arsed lovers frolicking in long grass', Rein's 'climax' is advertised as a 'secret cave sex party' that will be 'exploding onto the screens'.
Creative Scotland has announced it is reviewing a decision to provide more than £84,000 of public money to an explicit arts project involving 'non-simulated' sex performances. A total of £84,555 was awarded to director Leonie Rae Gasson for the development of Rein in the January round of the art body's National Lottery Open Fund.
'Execution of project more explicit than application' The public funding allocation has been criticised, particularly at a time when the arts sector continues to struggle to recover from the COVID pandemic. After Rein hit the headlines in the Sunday Post at the weekend, Creative Scotland said the project's application did not indicate how explicit the art installation would be. The funding is now being reviewed.
