商品描述

A provocative conversation on the erotic, appropriation, power, and sex.

In Pervert or Detective?, artists Reba Maybury and Lucy McKenzie dissect power, desire, and subversion in a provocative conversation. Maybury, who integrates her work as a political dominatrix into her artistic practice, manipulates dynamics of control, compelling her male submissives to create art under her direction, only to claim it as her own. Through confession and humiliation, she dismantles notions of authorship, masculinity, and labor. McKenzie, known for her intricate trompe l'oeil paintings and conceptual installations, similarly blurs boundaries--between art and commerce, and authenticity and illusion. Her work challenges power structures and exposes the unstable nature of representation.

Maybury and McKenzie, through an expansive discussion with French art critic Marie Canet, interrogate the logic of seduction and domination, pushing against rigid binaries to probe the material erotic, appropriation, and transformation. With an introduction by curators Fredi Fischli and Niels Olsen, an afterword by writer Susan Finlay, and extensive reading and viewing lists, Pervert or Detective? offers a compelling exchange between artists committed to unsettling the familiar and redefining artistic agency.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

一場挑釁性的對話，探討情色、挪用、權力與性。

在變態還是偵探？中，藝術家Reba Maybury和Lucy McKenzie進行了一場挑釁性的對話，剖析權力、慾望與顛覆。Maybury將她作為政治女主人的工作融入藝術實踐中，操控控制的動態，迫使她的男性臣服者在她的指導下創作藝術，然後將其聲稱為自己的作品。通過懺悔和羞辱，她拆解了作者權、男性氣質和勞動的概念。McKenzie以其精緻的視錯覺畫作和概念裝置而聞名，同樣模糊了界限——藝術與商業之間，以及真實性與幻覺之間。她的作品挑戰權力結構，揭示了表現的不穩定性。

Maybury和McKenzie通過與法國藝術評論家Marie Canet的廣泛討論，質疑誘惑與支配的邏輯，挑戰僵化的二元對立，深入探討物質的情色、挪用與轉化。由策展人Fredi Fischli和Niels Olsen撰寫的導言、作家Susan Finlay的後記，以及廣泛的閱讀和觀賞清單，變態還是偵探？提供了一場引人入勝的交流，讓藝術家們致力於顛覆熟悉的事物並重新定義藝術的主體性。

作者簡介

Reba Maybury is an artist, writer, and dominatrix sometimes working under the name Mistress Rebecca. Her work explores the tension between her perceived strength as an object of fantasy and how through the reality of sex work she attempts to turn this power into something tangible. She has published Dining with Humpty Dumpty (2017) and Faster than an Erection (2021). Themes of capital, labor, sexuality, female perversion, desire, banality, pleasure, bureaucracy as torture, and humiliation are essential themes to her practice. Maybury has exhibited at SIMIAN, Copenhagen; Museum of Contemporary Art, Rome; Luma Westbau, Zurich; HFKD, Holstebro, Denmark; Arcadia Missa, London; and Company Gallery, New York.

Lucy McKenzie is an artist whose work encompasses painting, installation, design, fiction, and curation. Her work as a painter is often preoccupied with outlying forms, including public murals and sculptures, schemes of decorative interiors, map making, and institutional display, among others. McKenzie has had solo exhibitions at Z33, Hasselt, BE; Meyer Kainer, Vienna; La Verrière, Brussels; Tate Liverpool, Liverpool; Galerie Daniel Buchholz, New York; Museum Brandhorst, Munich; Art Institute of Chicago; the Artist's Institute, New York; and Museum Ludwig, Cologne, among others.
