s-l-i-c-e is proud to announce \u00abHeterosexual Panic\u00bb, a large-scale installation and publication launch by Timo Seber and MYSTI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exhibition title \u00abHeterosexual Panic\u00bb derives from \u2018Homosexual \/ Gay Panic\u2019, a term used in the USA as a legal defence strategy. It is intended to justify a temporary lack of control, triggered by unwanted, sexual approaches by same-sex people, which lead to violent outbreaks and murder. Scientific attempts to justify Homosexual Panic as temporary insanity, are part of a system that legitimises an amalgam of irrational fears, hatred, and structural discrimination against homosexuality. Inverting the term, Seber and MYSTI\u2019s \u00abHeterosexual Panic\u00bb considers homosexual narratives within a world that consistently re-establishes heterosexuality as the standard for coexistence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Timo Seber<\/strong> (*1984, Cologne, Germany) studied at Kunsthochschule f\u00fcr Medien, Cologne, in the classes of Marcel Odenbach and Johannes Wohnseifer (2006-2011). Seber is represented by Galerie Tobias Naehring. His current solo show \u00abI’d appreciate your input\u00bb is on at Galerie Tobias Naehring, Berlin 02.07. – 28.08.2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MYSTI<\/strong>, a soured queen, prefers not to write about art like notches on a bedpost the way most artist bios get read.
s-l-i-c-e<\/strong> is a curatorial initiative set up in 2020 by Rory Biddulph and Robert Prideaux. It was created to allow artists, curators and performers to develop new projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
