:: IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING that the male body is a contested site is old news, but an ironic critique of manufactured masculinity has gone largely unexplored. This body of work is not political in the traditional sense. With a juxtaposition of ideas cherry picked from mutually exclusive sources, the work is rendered layered enough to allow for a multiplicity of meanings. The proposition in much of my work is that it is possible to be simultaneously hot and sweaty and critical and detached. This work concentrates on the representative gestures of maleness, their signifiers, and their remains.
While it is virtually indefinable, this much I know for certain: Art is not “suitable for family viewing”, nor should it be psy-chiatrically uplifting. Nothing should be considered untouchable. Art must refuse to kowtow to the limitless demands for the famil-iar and the safe and the conventional. Art has nothing to do with social work or political stability or with ending negative stereo-types: these are the jobs for propagandists. It’s a dangerous world out there and if art is expected to hold a mirror up to the society in which it was created, do we really need any more decorators? Bruce Eves, January 2005.
