Richard Gasper curates a group exhibition that addresses the theme of masculinity through works by six modern and contemporary artists. The title of the exhibition, Auto-fellatio, introduces a motif of masculinity independent and autonomous, yet trapped in a cycle of compulsive self-indulgence – a narcissus for the age of over-consumption. Boy in da Corner, designating the first of two shows within the Auto-fellatio project, references the musician Dizzee Rascal’s seminal debut album, itself an ambiguous emblem of strength and creativity that is at the same time shot through with vulnerability and existential angst. Artists include: Richard Gasper, Andrew Mania, Daniel Pasteiner, Eddie Peake, Daniel Sinsel and Paul Thek.
