Gazelli Art House is glad to announce Wright & Vandame are part of a group exhibition Gym, Let’s Work It Out at Chi-Wen Gallery in Taipei, 3 December 2016 – 7 January 2017.
Gym, Let’s Work it Out is a group exhibition exploring how masculinity is forged in contemporary societies. Taking the gym as a mise-en-scene it presents contemporary art by emerging artists whose work engages the male body in relation to various apparatuses that are used to mould it – be they mechanical or political. Pushed outside of its natural state, this exhibition puts forward the masculine as equally aspirational and grotesque, engendering psychological notions of success, competition and power in normative societies that are increasingly open to question. The Gym is a metaphor for the social spaces in which these ideologies are shaped, one that is as erotic and queer as it is utilitarian and conservative.
