The exhibition 'Grace of Desire' highlights works of queer women in the surrealist and avant-garde movements. Curated by Birgit Bosold and featuring artists like Krista Beinstein and Claude Cahun, the show focuses on celebrating lesbian artists and their rebellious contributions. Beinstein's provocative use of latex masks and inflatable body augmentations offers a fresh perspective on gender fluidity, while Cahun's self-portraits challenge traditional gender binaries. This exhibition is part of a larger series titled 'Lesbian Legacies' that aims to honor the achievements of queer women in art history.
'Grace of Desire' is a rich visual survey aimed at highlighting works of queer women from the surrealist and avant-garde movements of the early 20th century to the present day.
Entering the exhibition space, Krista Beinstein's large-scale portraits confront visitors almost instantly. Beinstein's images depict figures donning latex masks and gloves, adopting aesthetics from S and M culture.
