New Essay up on Mute about Dries Verhoeven’s ‘Wanna Play? Love in the Times of Grindr’

I have a new report/essay up on Mute Magazine’s website. It discusses Dries Verhoeven’s artwork ‘Wanna Play: Love in the times of Grindr’, which caused enormous rage in the Berlin queer community in the last week, and how the theatre that funded it has attempted to transform that rage into the sort of scandal that the art world can easily absorb and exploit.
