Classixx recreates coded homoerotic antiquities them in a more explicit, fetish context. I want to make the connection between art in museums framing the work’s history as much as art-ness. I think as a result, the sexual charge of the work is diffused by the framing as a ‘greek sculpture’ or a Biblical painting. I feel that the mythological or religious framing gave it the legitimacy that made it acceptable. For example, the opening associated text for the Theseus & the Minotaur sculpture is “The legendary Greek hero Theseus sits astride the minotaur whom he has just killed.” Killed, indeed.

I want to cut out the middleman, but still keep it classy.
