  • NEW WORLDS – Les amoureux

  • Artists address the subjects of identity, gender and sexuality in a multitude of different ways. Here, the focus is on portrayals which do not adhere to accepted heterosexual norms. The amorphous figures in Yves Tanguy’s ›Les amoureux‹ (The Lovers) approach each other and simultaneously transcend the human shape. In the case of Roni Horn, flowing water has become a symbol of the mutability of self, something that is also her chosen theme in what seem at first sight to be identical double portraits and her works on paper which have been dissected and then reassembled in different ways. George Minne’s fountain sculptures and Maillol’s ›Le Coureur Cycliste‹ (The Racing Cyclist) are the expression of a delicate and vulnerable masculinity, whereas Harry Hachmeister ironically subverts standards in self-styling.
    As posters from the history of various activist movements make clear, current queer positions are the result of decades of social and political struggle
