  Alexis Hunter, Portrait of Charles Thomson

 
me maskuline

King's College London, The Strand, London, United Kingdom

Monday, October 25 at 6:30pm - October 29 at 5:00pm  

Inside Out Festival
‘me maskuline’ is an exhibition of photography and video works focused on the fakery of masculinity – a fakery that all too often leads to violence. Instigated by exhibiting artist Alex Brew, the show includes works spanning 30 years by Oreet Ashery, Rosie Gunn, Alexis Hunter, Derek Jackson, Del LaGrace Volcano, Tracy Allen, Katy Norton and Grace Lau.. The artists come together around their focus on their own relationship to masculinity. They give masculinity meaning only to strip it bare again. Clock the sheer cheek of the work. Banned, torn off walls and labelled a ‘violence towards men’ it rears its head and stares back again. Clock the risk-taking and the breaks with gender conventions of ‘Chain Reaction’ ‘scaling buildings to get to the top of the world to perform [their] radical perversions for the camera.’ Clock the woman approaching men in public places and asking them to remove items of clothes in a more private space. Clock the young woman in baggy clothes asking a buff man to wrap himself in cling-film for the series ‘Bound’. Clock the woman passing as male to dance at a huge men-only religious festival in Israel.

As we hold the mythological male’s gaze – seemingly all powerful, superior, a show of musculature and authority – will the work act as a catalyst for violence or for change? This exhibition is curated by Alex Brew. The exhibition and the opening night panel are organised and hosted by the Centre for Culture, Media & Creative Industries, in conjunction with Queer@King’s & with support from the ESRC.

Free, open to all. Opening times: Monday 6.30pm – 9.00pm, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday 5.00pm – 8.00pm, Friday 1.00pm – 5.00pm

Henry Armytage Sanders, 1918 Royal NZ Returned and services Association Collection

À vous jeunes désabusés,
À vous de porter l'oriflamme
Et de garder au fond de l'âme
Le goût de vivre en liberté.
Acceptez le défi, sinon
Les coquelicots se faneront

Au champ d'honneur.
lieutenant-colonel John McCrae
