Queere Moderne. 1900 bis 1950
In the organizer's words:
The Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen is presenting Queere Moderne. 1900 to 1950 is the first comprehensive exhibition in Europe to present the significant contribution of queer artists to modernism. With over 130 works - including paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures, films, literature and archival material - by 34 international artists, the exhibition project focuses on the first half of the 20th century. It tells an alternative history of modernism, in which queer artists placed themes such as desire, gender and sexuality as well as the politics of self-expression at the center of their work. It also tells stories of queer life in times of war and resistance. It includes queer artists such as Claude Cahun, Hannah Höch, Jean Cocteau, Romaine Brooks, Marlow Moss and Richmond Barthé.
Now that the K20 collection has become more polyphonic, global and experimental in recent years, the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen is opening up new perspectives on modernism with this unique exhibition and giving great visibility to previously less recognized positions.
A queer advisory board has critically advised the exhibition, designed mediation situations and contributed suggestions for the supporting program.
