> DESCRIPTION

'Just Different!' is the challenging title of an art exhibition about sexual desire, gender and identity construction in the visual arts at the turn of the 21st century. Disregarding for the moment the heterosexual dominance of much of our daily life, it reveals instead alternative lifestyles such as homosexuality and transsexuality. In over 100 artworks by some 35 national and international artists the exhibition gives an impression of the sheer wealth of images that the exploration of sexual identity has yielded. There will be works by Gilbert & George, Nan Goldin, Marlene Dumas, Wolfgang Tillmans, Marlene McCarty, Rachid Ben Ali and many others. Epitomising the exhibition will be the nine-metre high monumental statue of David, in bright pink and canary yellow, by Hans-Peter Feldmann, which will be installed in the square outside of the Cobra Museum for Modern Art: a piece that symbolizes sexual diversity and freedom, but above all pleasure. It is just different. Publication available.
