Gender Check! Femininity and Masculinity in the Art of Eastern Europe. Zacheta National Gallery of Art, 20 March – 13 June 2010
The exhibition, originally opened at the MUMOK museum in Vienna and officially mounted to mark the 20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, is the first attempt to represent Eastern European art through the gender prism. To be more precise, the show is dedicated to the depiction of the sexes, tracing the development, transformation and turning points of the subject as reflected in Eastern European art dating from the 1960s until the present. The exhibition fully reveals the relationship between the historical processes and art. Curated by Bojana Pejic, it comprises 400 works - sculptures, paintings, photographs, installations, video works, posters, etc. - from 24 post-socialist countries. Importantly, the team selected by the curator included an expert from each country participating in the project. The curator of the Latvian section was the Berlin-based art theoretician Māra Traumane who chose 13 works by Latvian artists.
