Invited as an artist who has previously exhibited at the gallery, Montreal artist Kevin deForest brought together works by Ana Rewacowicz, Damian Moppett, Renay Egami, and Monique Moumblow in Heterosexy, the sixth exhibition in Galerie B-312's 10th anniversary program. -Heterosexy is a catchword that combines the idea of heterogeneity with that of attractiveness. This evocation of "attractive heterogeneity" resonates a bit in contrast to the famous Freudian "disturbing strangeness" without being opposed to it. It also recalls what Georges Bataille says about eroticism when he writes that "eroticism is in man's consciousness what puts the being in question in him" or that it is "the imbalance in which the being puts himself in question, consciously".-Then, when Ana Rewacowicz works with the figures of goosebumps, latex, and women's clothing, when Damian Moppett's photographs of blown balloons stuck in lego blocks metaphorize, in the manner of a reversion, the emotion of the child surprised by puberty, when Renay Egami evokes the thrill, the embarrassment, the attraction accompanied by a deaf repulsion in shaping popsicles in the form of phallic tongues, when Monique Moumblow evokes, in the manner of filmic narration, romantic love, voyeurism, fantasy construction, and the hauntingly amorous image of the other loved one, is it not the " imbalance " that Bataille evokes as a science of the question, a mode of interrogation. -Science of the question, modality of questioning, that Kevin deForest organizes with the complicity of his guest artists to initiate a reflection where everything seemed already known, understood, acquired and assimilated about oneself in its relationship with the other.
