"The Man I Wish I Was" Exhibition
A.I.R. Gallery
This event has ended.
A.I.R. Gallery announces The Man I Wish I Was, a partially invitational, partially juried group exhibition featuring work by 18 artists.
In keeping with the feminist tradition of irreverent internal-critique and self-vigilance the intent of The Man I Wish I Was is to question how gender perception relates to personal identity. The exhibition seeks to reevaluate the traditional feminist strategy of defining identity as something encountered in the first person and to question the roles that an individual might embody beyond those prescribed by social and genetic dictates. The exhibition asks the question: Have we happily reached a post-gender moment, a moment where gender is no longer a relevant signifier and we can comfortably slip into daddy’s shoes?
The artists in The Man I Wish I Was add compelling work and ideas to this discourse, bringing a range of unanticipated perspectives and interpretations to the exhibition’s central concept. The included pieces date from the 1970’s to the present and include sculpture, photography, painting, drawing, video and text based work.
