Introduced to the art world through&nbsp;<em>Pretend You\u2019re Actually Alive<\/em>&nbsp;(2008) \u2013 a project including photography, text and video which, chronicling his family, hinged on his mother\u2019s controversial performance of sexual negation \u2013 his work has since extended to mine the intersections between psychoanalysis, social psychology, anthropology and the archive. This has included projects such as his 2017 feature film&nbsp;<em>The Task<\/em>, situationally based works structured around the combination of photography and existing archives, sculptural works, site specific interventions, and the creation of complex contractual frameworks that he uses to foreground issues of intersubjectivity, agency and consent. Ultimately, Ledare\u2019s works transform the observer into the voyeur of intimate scenes while examining the social constructed nature of reality and the projective assumptions that surround it.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ABOUT REBA MAYBURY<br>Reba&nbsp;Maybury&nbsp;(1990) is an artist, writer and dominatrix sometimes working under the name Mistress Rebecca. Her work explores the tension between her perceived strength as a figure of fantasy and how through the reality of sex work and gender she turns this power into something tangible.&nbsp;Men are her medium and much&nbsp;of her art practice is physically created by her submissive\u2019s through her direction as a way to further the complicated imbalances of labour under sex work and as an attempt to empower her further from her clients\u2019 desires and entitlements, leaving her with more than just a payment from them.&nbsp;Themes of capital, labour, power, sexuality, female perversion, bureaucracy as torture and humiliation are essential themes to her practice, where the medium of the work ranges from installation, painting, writing and drawing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday 3 September, we invite you to take part in the very first Free Lunch after summer.
