Bent: Gender and Sexuality in Contemporary Scandinavian Art

This cutting-edge international group show looks at the ways in which
issues of gender and sexuality inform the work of four artists: Eija-
Liisa Ahtila, Jesper Just, Annika Larsson and Annica Karlsson Rixon.
Through photography, video and film, they draw from the rich media
bank of images of masculinity and feminity circulated in advertising,
film, historical art and popular culture. Constructing dialogues
between past, present and future, and acknowledging the growing role
mediated images play in culture, here the artists explor the
importance of images of gender and sexuality in formations of
contemporary identity. Curated by SFSU Professor Whitney Chadwick,
BENT is a project of the International Center for the Arts (ICA) at
San Francsico State University.
