Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. 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 loeil paintings and conceptual installations, similarly blurs boundariesbetween 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. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Beyond the Pleasure Principle, edited by Illari Laamanen. Featuring: John Divola, Armi Ratia, Estelle Hanania, Camille Henrot, Maija Luutonen, Aaron Schuster, Takeshi Murata, Tyler Adams, Luigi Russolo, Reba Maybury, Kohei Yoshiyuki, Nicole Howalt. Hardcover. 144 pages. With poster insert. Designer: Johanna Lundberg. Printer: Göteborgs Tryckeriet. "According to Sigmund Freud, the pleasure principle refers to the instinctual seeking of pleasure and avoiding pain in order to satisfy biological and psychological needs. Pleasure principle is oftentimes considered to be the strongest impulse guiding individual?s life. In his later writings, Sigmund Freud refers to the ?compulsion to repeat?, and declares that it might well be powerful enough to disregard the pleasure principle.This publication taps into this tension. The underlying motive isto create a scenario that deals as much with our complex relationship with nature and habitat as it does with transformation and letting go. An emphasis is put on the physical shared environment, but the tone is psychologically charged. Beyond the Pleasure Principle thrives from similar thematic framework as FCINY?s previous publication The Powers That Be that used the knowledge of the body and manifestations of physical energy as its point of departure. But in this case the physical and psychological energies and tensions can be considered to be intertwined, and analyzed through artistic gestures and three key themes: ritual, retrograde and repetition.Beyond the Pleasure Principle was produced on the occasion of two exhibitions, The Pleasure Principle at Sinne in Helsinki (June 4?July 31, 2016) and The Limits of Control at Station Independent Projects in New York City (August 13?September 4, 2016). The Pleasure Principle features works by John Divola, Camille Henrot, Maija Luutonen and Armi Ratia. The Limits of Control features works by Tyler Adams, Estelle Hanania, Nicolai Howalt, Jouko Lehtola, Takeshi Murata, Iiu Susiraja and Kohei Yoshiyuki. The exhibitions are curated by Ilari Laamanen and produced by the Finnish Cultural Institute in New York in collaboration with Sinne and Station Independent Projects.".
