"...The
wry, reflective, tonal humour of [Kaye Shumack's] powerfully
restrained images of the festive season is transposed, in Pierre
Yves Clouin's video 'Mon Lapin Bleu' (Honey Bunny), into something
more overt and uncontrollable. This is perhaps a necessary negation
of the artist's fears concerning the sexual stasis effected by
sterile, consumerist definitions of desire. [...] All the works
in this exhibition are the results of acts of courage, are in
a sense, framed everyday histories of the extraordinarily diverse,
multi-desirous human heart. The choice to courageously move beyond
assumptions of identity, sexual or otherwise, into the uncharted
territory of the transfinite, is one strand in the continuing
discourse of others, of which this exhibition is a powerful and
empowering instance."

"...Pierre
Yves Clouin's one-minute, one-liner video, Mon Lapin Bleu
(Honey Bunny), featured a naked man exuberantly mock-copulating
and being ass-licked by a big blue teddy-rabbit. At first I thought
it was just plain stupid, until I heard that it annoyed the hell
out of some of the staff at Arthouse. God, maybe there was something
to it after all."
Mic Moroney, "out

"This
stuffed companion gives new meaning to the term 'gym bunny.'"
