Marc Quinn: Just don't call it a freak show

With sculptures of the 'pregnant man', a woman with massive, surgically enhanced breasts, Michael Jackson and Pamela Anderson, what is Marc Quinn's latest exhibition all about?

Marc Quinn stands proudly over his latest sculpture. It's brilliantly detailed, sensual and a little bit rude. A woman is having sex with a man from behind. At first sight, it's a simple conceit, a reversal of traditional gender roles. Only when you look underneath the bronze couple do you realise there's something more going on. The woman has a penis, the man a vagina.
