Queer - Lust, power and identity

Exhibition: Queer - Lust, power and identity

How has the view on same sex sexuality and eroticism coloursed pictures of art and artists throughout time? The National Museum's exhibition Queer - Lust, Power and Identity gives us a new perspective on art history.

The exhibition illuminates how gender norms have changed, masculinity and femininity now and before, and how these norms have been overstepped. It takes up how art and pictures have been used to undermine a heterosexual norm and gives us the key to why certain motifs have become gay icons. Have older pictures of women homosexual eroticism been referred to  by a manly voyeuristical audience and how is it today?

The question about the viewer is discussed as well as who is included and excluded in art history.
