“Hotter Than July: A Sexploration”—of seductive but not hard-core images of people role-playing, engaged in S&M and B&D, and even posing as “figures in ecstasy” on Communion wafers—was explicit enough to get the Facebook page of its whip-smart curator, Savannah Spirit, disabled after a few pieces from the show appeared in one of her photo albums. Post-porn or porn, individual odysseys or raw randiness, you decide. Spirit says her criterion for judging art content is “what gets us off.” There were more than a few works here where I knew, or rather felt, what she meant (at NY Studio Gallery through February 12). — Jerry Saltz
