Just Different!14.06 - 21.09 2008'
Just Different!' is the challenging title of this exhibition about sexual desire, gender and identity construction in the visual arts. Disregarding for the moment the heterosexual dominance of our daily life, it addresses instead alternative life styles, such as homosexuality and transsexuality. In over 100 artworks by 47 national and international artists, the exhibition gives an impression of the sheer wealth of images yielded by the exploration of sexual identity.Epitomising the exhibition will be the nine-metre high monumental statue of David by Hans-Peter Feldmann, which is installed on the square outside the Cobra Museum of Modern Art. It is an iconic piece that symbolizes sexual diversity and freedom, but above all pleasure. It is just different.
