The Pleasure’s All Mine becomes a pleasingly defiant statement once we witness the show’s abject content. The viewer may delight in the visceral nature of Mindy Lee’s paintings or take a scopophilic peer into the recesses of a sculpture by Sarah Gillham. Perhaps there are joys to be found in the implicit sadistic frisson of Liane Lang’s photographs and Rachel Thorlby’s constructions. But it’s tricky this pain/pleasure nexus and as we know sometimes the two can come awfully close. These artists are exploring the movement between the two states, or more precisely, the scary middle ground that encompasses them both.
