Desire, individual experience, the politics of self-expression, and social history become visible in their work. Many of these artists have so far been marginalized in the dominant historiography or dismissed as “counter-modern.” Others are examined for the first time in the exhibition from the perspective of queer aesthetics.
The result of years of research, this exhibition completes our picture of modernism with over forty artists, some of whom have been forgotten and some of whom are very well known. It includes works from Eastern and Western Europe, from North and Latin America. It also tells the story of queer life in a time marked by war, persecution, and resistance.
