At least, that's what they claim to be doing by having some "leading contemporary artists", a list which includes Tracey Emin, "explore the female body as a work of art". Normally, I'd be willing discuss the issue of the female body as art and whether or not it could be anything other than the objectification of women's bodies, but this is Playboy.
Playboy.
They aren't interested in art. They are interested in making money by the sexual degradation and objectification of women's bodies. This is just another desperate ploy to differentiate them from 'bad' pornographers. In many ways, Playboy's mainstreaming of pornography has been far more detrimental to women's rights than the more violent pornography now available online.
I would rant further but Exiled Stardust has deconstructed this far more eloquently here.
