Foregrounding how sick bodies are controlled and fetishized, Panteha Abareshi’s “Impaired Erotics” opens at O—Overgaden in Copenhagen. Through a series of provocative sculptures made using braces, straps, and tubing—medical equipment—the Los Angeles-based artist underscores the violence and indifference implicit in treatment. In MAKING USEFUL (OF DECAY) (2024, image), for example, a pair of thermoplastic legs are rigidly restrained—illustrating how society “surveils, cages, or disciplines the sick or disabled body.”
