Beyond the Closet
The agency’s seventh exhibition, Beyond the Closet, brings together twenty artists (ten based in Switzerland and ten from abroad) to explore male nudity in contemporary art. Through diverse mediums such as photography, drawing, painting, and sculpture, the exhibition examines themes of vulnerability, desire, and identity, challenging current conventional notions of masculinity and the male form. By juxtaposing local and global perspectives, the show creates a dialogue that questions cultural, social, and artistic norms, inviting viewers to consider how the male body, in whole or in part, becomes, once again, both a subject of desire and a site of objectification, thereby flipping traditional gender roles in art.
