Chad Wanzek is so clean you can eat off him. And that's exactly what he wants you to do.

This Saturday, at the ninth annual "Love at the Glove" art exhibit, Wanzek will be wearing a fluffy pink tutu complemented by real cotton candy that others will be welcome to munch on.

Wanzek and many other artists will display their work during "Love at the Glove" from 7 to 12 p.m. at the Surplus Gallery in the Glove Factory, 428 S. Washington St. Admission is $3 with a canned good and $4 without.

Sponsored by the League of Art and Design, "Love at the Glove" celebrates sex, love and everything in between.

Visitors can groove to the beats of music by The Plus, Goddamn Jets, DJ Fozzie and DJ Dylan. Refreshments will be available and attendees are encouraged to don whatever attire they wish.

"People bring props and dress up. One year a guy showed up wearing just a Speedo," said Edie Overturf, a senior in printmaking and one of the organizers of the show.

LOAD will be accepting submissions for the show today from 3 to 7 p.m. Any type of art is allowed, but if it is to be hung on a wall it must be prepared.

The show usually exhibits about 70 pieces of work including sculpture, paintings and photographs.

One item already planned is a performance piece that involves a dummy and some S& M equipment, though "we don't know exactly what they're doing yet," Overturf said.

Some years even tend to bring a general theme throughout the exhibit.

"Last year was predominantly penises, so we're thinking this year is the year of the vaginas," Overturf said before displaying a piece she put in last year's show, a pink and red "taco" sculpture that looks quite similar to her predicted theme for this year.

Forget hearts, flowers and chocolate. This Valentine's Day weekend, whips and chains are the thing to bring. The work shown during "Love at the Glove" comes down on Sunday, so don't miss out on your opportunity to broaden your horizons - and maybe go home with a new friend or two.

"Love at the Glove" will take place from 7 to 12 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 15 at the Glove Factory, 428 S. Washington St. Admission is $3 with a canned good, $4 without.
