Colombian artist Rubén Barrios‑Rodríguez develops an interdisciplinary practice spanning drawing, photography, photo‑performance, video, performance, installation and object-making. In Désirs brutes the male body becomes a territory where desire, eroticism, constraint, vulnerability and resistance intersect. Through homoerotic imagery, naked bodies, masks, harnesses and deliberate references to football, the artist interrogates patriarchal and heteronormative models and the social codes that shape masculine behaviour. The works repurpose sporting objects and rituals to juxtapose traditional notions of virility with fragility, desire, pain and forms of resistance.
Opening: 12 November, 18:00
