,Zunder und Zartheit’ presents works by selected members of the art association from different generations. At a time when feminist debates and demands for equal rights are part of everyday life, it almost sounds a little provocative to focus solely on men in an exhibition. But that’s exactly what we’re doing – and for good reason. In the art world, men often have the prestige, the bigger price tag and the big name. But what about the softer tones, the doubts, the vulnerable moments? While the last members’ exhibition was dedicated exclusively to female artists, we are now focussing on their male colleagues. What moves them? What can art tell us about being a man that goes beyond old role models?
The works on display cannot be easily categorised – they are poetic, questioning, sometimes harsh, sometimes gentle. And perhaps they open up a space for a conversation that we have not yet had in this way.
