Queer Aesthetics and Dissidences in the Museums of the XMAC is an exhibition about how art echoes so many ways of feeling and being, in a journey that celebrates the affective and sexual diversity of human nature, inviting us to see ourselves mirrored in our museums
The exhibition is intended as an evocation of “pre-pandemic” social interaction under different forms of occupation of space. The festival as ritual, subversion and identity cohesion, the street in its most ludic or vindicative dimension, the diner as a space-time of coexistence, the “being in relation”…. . Will we do it again? Will we be again?
Journey through the collection of La Xarxa de Museus d’Art de Catalunya with the aim -following the spirit of Proust’s quote- of looking at the world through the eyes (of the works) of the artists: see what they saw and feel what they felt in the hope of expanding our perception of the universe through their gaze.
