Art and Masculinity after Auschwitz after Bosnia: The work of Dennis Del Favero, 1995
Feature
Adam Geczy

Masculinity continues its argument with itself, quizzical at its self-propelled self-assertion. But in asserting aggression the pain is not just experienced in the victim.

Public Objects and Private Parts in Harry Hummerston's Recent Assemblages
Feature
Anna Herriman

Harry's work immediately identifies the object as a site of meaning. It is fair to say that Harry is strongly opposed to any restriction or taboo upon what he may represent, particularly from the arena of representing the female object or gender.
