SHERMAN New York, September 2011 - The
Austrian Cultural Forum New York and
MUSA Vienna are
proud to present
Beauty Contest, an exhibition featuring works by 20 international y acclaimed and
emerging artists who critically reflect on contemporary global society’s obsession and fascination
with physical appearance. Beauty Contest opens on
September 20, 2011 and wil be on view until
January 3, 2012 at the
Austrian Cultural Forum New York. The exhibition wil then travel to
Vienna in
February 2012 where it wil be shown in the gal eries of MUSA Vienna.
Beauty Contest presents artists exploring what is probably one of the most trivial everyday
experiences: our daily encounter with human beauty and its social construction. A perennial
subject for artists and writers, the creation of beauty has always been linked to power and gender,
to distinction and competition, to rejection and desire, and to linearity and diversity.
Visual arts, fashion and media have strongly contributed to the transformation of the notion of
beauty over the last few generations. Widely perceived to be an extension of femininity until the
late 20th century, feminism and the gay, lesbian and queer movements have eroded clear definitions of who and what is beautiful – and who and what is not. This sea change took place in an age where the notion of gender itself has been challenged and transformed.
Emancipatory artistic reflection and practice has fought to reveal the hidden structures of repression toward gender, race, and age and to shake of antiquated visual preconceptions. Yet we
stil seem to be caught in a vicious cycle of competition for social status, visual representation and an industrially managed and mainstreamed aesthetical canon.
Beauty Contest is curated by
Berthold Ecker,
Claude Grunitzky, and
Andreas Stadler, with
assistance from
Natascha Boojar and
Roland Fink.
A ful y il ustrated catalogue wil be published by
Passagen in February 2012.
