One page one man /Her/Man a white page a white space at the end of it ALL the scream echoes back Back through the lost people coming to-gether in another world where we might see/or be seen eye to eye where I can touch you/ ALL -From the catalogue “Transformer: Aspects of Travesty curated by Jean-Christophe Ammann” back page, Tony Morgan (HERMAN) 1974. Galeria Mascota is pleased to present Antifaratu an exhibition conceived by Wills Baker. Featuring works by David Douard (b.1983), Matthew Kenny (b.1979), Bradford Kessler (b.1983), The estate of Tony Morgan (b. 1938 -2004) and Zoe Barcza (b.1984). The horror genre operates off of one principle alone: fear for pleasure. Meet Antifa2, an amalgamation of divine parts, (absentis corporis) an absent body invoked for devotion, Antifa2 prowls the night, she is a transgender, leftist whore of spectacle, an apparition come to uproot tradition and posses the most hard-hearted conservatives with desire. She flies, he screams, a murderous wretch begging to be seen. Five leading international artists invoke and respond to the symptoms of contemporary social rupture, technological violence, and political disintegration. This event will mark the first presentation in Latin America on behalf of all participants. “oh trust in me my pretty/Come walk with me my helpless one.” (Tinderbox,1969)
