| Summary: | 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. |
