Bra Trainer by Noam Toran

Bra Trainer (2007)
Mixed media

Bra Removal Trainer is a teaching aid designed to instruct adolescent boys to overcome the intricacies of opening the brassiere. When initiated the machine demonstrates the principles of both clasp disengagement and brassiere removal. Following a short pause the machine then re-secures the bra ready for the next demonstration. The piece is inspired from accounts of repressive post-war institutionalised sex education in the UK in which teachers were not allowed to touch any of the props (prophylactics, physical models of reproductive organs) unless using gloves or a stick. In collaboration with Nick Williamson.
